Now, Mars is dry, dusty and lifeless, but it was not always so. Long ago, maritime empires throve on a wetter, warmer Mars, a Mars of vast oceans and splendid cities. In strange ships of bone and wood, traders, explorers and pirates plied those sparkling turquoise seas in search of trade, adventure and treasure. Explore that lost world in many of these poems. In others, experience the quantum realm and our even more absurdist modern world.
