Tears on the Glass Desert: Speculative Poetry of Holocaust, Fallout and Decay

by Wesley D. Gray

Let us savor the final three seconds before Doomsday. Let us step through the shattered glass door leading beyond The End, and walk through the veil of an apocalyptic dreamscape. Let us witness the horrors that await these lucky ones called survivors. What will become of our Children of Fallout? Will they survive Death's second coming, or are they simply doomed to fade away, like Tears on the Glass Desert...

A conceptual chapbook of 24 poems that speculate on both the inevitabilities and the impossibilities of Nuclear Holocaust, the Fallout it brings, and the aftermath of its Decay. Contains poems both new and collected, including reprinted works from Grievous Angel, Polu Texni, Liquid Imagination, Devolution The Horror Magazine, The Literary Hatchet, and The Horror Zine.
