Book Description
Poetry. California Interest. Phillip Barron's WHAT COMES FROM A THING is the winner of the 2015 Michael Rubin Book Award. The Michael Rubin Book Award is a single-author, first-book award that memorializes the celebrated SFSU lecturer, and is selected by an independently solicited judge and published by Fourteen Hills Press. "Phillip Barron's WHAT COMES FROM A THING renders the familiar strange again, and so offers us the rare opportunity to re-encounter what we think we know. A mapping and re-mapping of our concurrent worlds, these poems explore the shifting overlays of industrial landscape, post-industrial landscape, the 'natural' world, and all the worlds that exist among them: location is never where we left it... WHAT COMES FROM A THING investigates what it can mean to be alive to our 21st century existence, "bathing in the mortar/ reeds and ruin." Laura Walker"

The Shape of Things to Come
Author: H. G. Wells
Publisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1473345529
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
First published in 1933, "The Shape of Things to Come" is science fiction novel written by H. G. Wells. Within it, world events between 1933 and 2106 are speculated with a single superstate representing the solution to all humanity's problems. A classic example of Wellsian prophesy, this volume is highly recommended for fans of his work and of the science fiction genre. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War of the Worlds" (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
