Description: This book collects the science-fiction poetry of Sun Ra. The author serves up a traumatic torrent of future shock - deeply personal and critical commentary and unsettling advice to the people of Earth, who fail to acknowledge this planet's role in the universe. Poet Amiri Baraka's foreword, together with science fiction historian Bhob Stewart's introduction, set the stage for the heavy dose of the real and the unreal. This book was collected from tape recordings and transcriptions culled from the Sun Ra Archives by director Michael Anderson, who worked with Norton records to compile a total of six albums - three collections of rare and unissued music recordings (on LP and CD) and another trio (vinyl only) of unissued spoken word Sun Ra. The collection was expanded with the addition of several key "lost" poems which appear here for the first time.
