Everything Endless

A cosmic collaboration between Science Fiction & Fantasy Association Grand Master Linda D. Addison and visionary versifier Jamal Hodge, Everything Endless, sheds brilliant light in dark times. With themes of creation, cosmos, the macroscopic and the microscopic, this collection tells the story of life itself and expresses fervent hope for a more creative future. Working in conversation, with alternating poems, the authors blend their unique voices and styles into a symphony of startling images. Never forgetting their roots, these Black poets bring the rhythm of call and response alive across the page with the laser focus of 10,000 suns.

"...so profound as to encompass all the questions you've ever experienced about existence, reality, time travel and the ultimate meaning of it all."-Marge Simon, multiple Bram Stoker Award winner
