IN DAYS TO COME by Lisa Timpf

The poems in this collection are grouped into four sections. The first, “Terra, Terra,” includes poems set on the planet Earth. That is true of many of the poems in the second section, “Looming Shadows,” though they have been grouped together in relation to some of the potential disasters we as a human race have set ourselves up for—nuclear warfare, climate change, and so on. “Alien Encounters” contains poems relating to imagined interactions with other space-faring species. “Other Worlds” rounds out the collection with speculations on what life might be like if and when humanity spins out to
the stars.
