"Warning: south of the train tracks, a Martian dream. Stranger still, habitable worlds abound. Wander through them, the lunar greenhouse full of NASA-planted lettuce, the fields of genetically modified soybeans, the tips to save your life. Like a Martian, 'ooh and ahh at crescent moons, the meteor showers.' Absorb this motion, before it vanishes. What's staged and what's real? What mechanism clears away panic and fear from a landscape, until it awaits pilgrims? The answers, or not-answers, are within the galaxies of AMERICAN GALACTIC."-- Monica Wendel, author of CALL IT A WINDOW and NO APOCALYPSE"Look out, the Martians have landed! And they're having a poetic romp with Laura Madeline Wiseman. Her narrator opens the door 'with a bowl of chocolate, suckers and quarters, ' and the little green creatures move right into her house, her garden, her outings, her community... even her mind. By the end of this quirky, imaginative, and well-researched collection, you'll wonder whether we all indeed carry around our own Martians."-- Ellaraine Lockie, author of STROKING DAVID'S LEG and COFFEE HOUSE CONFESSIONS"AMERICAN GALACTIC is a reminder that good astronomers and great poets are driven by imagination. These interplanetary poems are rich with it, taking the reader on a trip to new, unexplored landscapes with heart and humor. Playfulness, curiosity and surprise infuse the poems, in which Laura Madeline Wiseman puts the reader right up front in the face of 'the other, ' to confront a stranger, strangely familiar."-- Sarah J. Sloat, author of HOME BODIES and INKSUITE"The Martians have landed in AMERICAN GALACTIC, and the more Wiseman reveals about those little green aliens and their odd habits, the more we learn about our own human nature. This collection is more fun than a Cold War sci-fi flick plus a bag of buttered popcorn."-- Julie Kane, author of RHYTHM AND BOOZE and PAPER BULLETS

"Most people probably think that marriage is surreal enough, but Nathaniel Tower takes the absurdity a step further in this imaginative collection. In examining characters who give birth to boots, find gorillas in their spare bedrooms, and cheat the Potato King out of a stolen ring, Tower delights the reader at the same time that he provides strangely tender and apt insight into how we live our lives together."- David S. Atkinson, author of Bones Buried in the Dirt "Wildebeests and gorillas in the house, a woman giving birth to a boot, babies who grow up before their time, a woman in love with a blade of grass - welcome to the weird, surreal, fascinating world of Nate Tower where anything and everything goes. Brilliant, witty, and satirical - I haven't had this much fun reading fiction since Kurt Vonnegut's 'Welcome to the Monkey House' and Thomas Pynchon's 'The Crying of Lot 49.'"- Jeffrey Miller, author of Ice Cream Headache "Nathaniel Tower has an innate gift of making the implausible, the impossible, the insignificant spring to life as evidenced in his new story collection Nagging Wives, Foolish Husbands. What is utterly absurd becomes a form of (suspended) reality that this reader accepted and followed to its conclusion, with interest, and in some stories a pang of concern. Tower's collection brings to mind the brain of Kafka."- Susan Tepper, author of The Merrill Diaries Published by Martian Lit.

He's a tenured creative writing professor. A well-respected novelist. And a recovering sadistic pervert with a penchant for young girls. His name is Julian Darius, which by great coincidence just happens to be the name of this novel's author.She's a teenage groupie who insists he buy her a collar before they have sex. She seems to know his desires better than he does. And she wants to fulfill them - even ones he claims not to have. The result is a strange love story that explores how far we'd really go, given the opportunity... and whether men and women could truly live together, if they were completely honest about their desires.This erotic and violent novel, criticized as pornographic, is nonetheless supremely literary and won its author a Ph.D. in English.WARNING: SEXUAL CONTENT, VIOLENCE, TRANSGRESSIVE THEMES, INTELLIGENCE.From Martian Lit.
