Robert P Hansen: 26 books

Most of the poems in this collection were written during 2016. As with the previous two years' collections, the subject matter is diverse with love, hate, murder, nature, social and political commentary, and many other topics being explored. However, this one has a stronger philosophical presence...

In this young adult space adventure, the earth has experienced a catastrophic environmental disaster that has left much of the world uninhabitable. Antarctica, Greenland, and Siberia are temperate climates, and the polar ice caps are no more. In response, humanity has begun to colonize the solar system,...

Exploitation and Other Stories is about 60% science fiction (SF) and 40% other genres (fantasy, mystery, and flash fiction). The title piece, "Exploitation," is a novella about space exploration, while most of the other SF stories involve alien encounters. The speculative flash fiction pieces serve...

When Detective Frank Primrose woke up this morning, he never expected to investigate the disappearance of cats. Police detectives simply don't do that sort of thing. But when it's the chief's niece's cat that's gone missing, what else can he do? Besides, it isn't just her cat that's gone missing;...

Installments is a complex, multi-tiered literary narrative. The frame (outermost level) is about Harry, a mystery writer struggling with a new story, and his interactions with the writers’ group helping him through those struggles. The story-within-the-story (innermost level) is a mystery about...

When I was developing and refining my writing skills, I focused on writing techniques, the forms of poetry, the use of language and sound—the nuts and bolts of poetry. Although it was a useful exercise to write poems about writing,...

The poems in this collection are a strange marriage of love poems and speculation. It didn’t start out that way. When I was organizing my poetry into collections, they were separate categories, but by the time I had finished, neither one was quite long enough to be a book and a bit too long for...

Angus is frustrated. King Tyr has confined him to Hellsbreath and he doesn’t know why. Embril went with the patrol to the Angst temple to safeguard The Tiger’s Eye, but she has failed—or worse, she has betrayed him. Either way, the nexus has been disturbed and Hellsbreath is in danger—and...

While compiling this collection, I tentatively called it “Humor on Wry”, but it didn’t quite capture the end result. The playful little snippets in Part 1 fit the humor well enough, but the humor tends to be more direct than wry. Also, some of the poems in that section are there only because...

The following collection of stories and poetry explores the nether regions of the human psyche, that dismal, lonely place where morality takes a left turn into thanatos, the Freudian instinct toward death and destruction. Some of the works shy away from its borders like a swimmer dipping a toe in...
