Look out, the Martians have landed! And they're having a poetic romp with Laura Madeline Wiseman. Her narrator opens the door 'with a bowl of chocolate, suckers and quarters, ' and the little green creatures move right into her house, her garden, her outings, her community... even her mind. By the end of this quirky, imaginative, and well-researched collection, you'll wonder whether we all indeed carry around our own Martians.
-- Ellaraine Lockie, author of STROKING DAVID'S LEG and COFFEE HOUSE CONFESSIONS
AMERICAN GALACTIC is a reminder that good astronomers and great poets are driven by imagination. These interplanetary poems are rich with it, taking the reader on a trip to new, unexplored landscapes with heart and humor. Playfulness, curiosity and surprise infuse the poems, in which Laura Madeline Wiseman puts the reader right up front in the face of 'the other, ' to confront a stranger, strangely familiar.
-- Sarah J. Sloat, author of HOME BODIES and INKSUITE
The Martians have landed in AMERICAN GALACTIC, and the more Wiseman reveals about those little green aliens and their odd habits, the more we learn about our own human nature. This collection is more fun than a Cold War sci-fi flick plus a bag of buttered popcorn.
-- Julie Kane, author of RHYTHM AND BOOZE and PAPER BULLETS
