When space was still more of a dream than a conundrum...when an adventure on a booster rocket was more of an ambition than to master the ability to manipulate Forex spread sheets...when the urge to find new worlds fired the imagination more than obtaining a mortgage at favourable rates...

For grown-up space cadets everywhere, this collection of poetry and prose is for you.

Inspired by the pulp science fiction of a bygone, more innocent age when spaceships were dependably rocket shaped, aliens looked like proper tentacled monsters and laser guns solved most immediate problems, this collection of poems takes you to the final frontier...and beyond. On your journey meet DANA the love-struck ship computer, spacewalk and meet Neil Armstrong and Elvis Presley, eventually planet fall and, after various clonings, discover your true human nature.

The poetry and prose in this collection vary in length from short to not so short to the brink of epic and back again. The style is contemporary with some cosmic humour deep in the galactic pulse. An ideal accompaniment to a Latte and Galaxy chocolate muffin in any coffee shop of your choice or whilst sat on a train, dreaming of more pioneering travel or just sat anywhere, musing on the dangerous glamour of being a space traveller...

Ben Brinkburn is a British writer and poet and this is one of three poetry collections currently available. Find out more about the him on his Author page where there are also links to his website and blog.

Happy spacewalking....
