Anthropomorphisms brings together all of Boston's "people poems" -- cat people, ghost people, gargoyle people, werewolf people, etc. Most of these poems first appeared in Asimov's SF and Strange Horizons. Includes nine original illustrations by Marge Simon “Boston poetically anthropomorphizes animals, inanimate objects, abstractions and things celestial with great wit and insight. This is the stuff of surreal dreams. Being human has never been more entertaining.” –G. O. Clark, author of Shroud of Night “Bruce Boston's Anthropomorphisms is by turns waggish ("Beat People"), visionary ("Bird People"), quirky ("Bone People"), droll ("Cat People"), chilling ("Cockroach People"), mordant ("Crow People"), topsy-turvy ("Chicken People), startling ("Gargoyle People"), prophetic ("Ghost People"), quotable ("Robot People," and "Knife People"), appetizing ("Harvest People"), shivery ("Lice People"), and allusive and compressed ("Surreal People"). Anthropomorphisms would make a great gift for anyone with a sense of the absurd. But be selfish; buy the book for yourself.” –Mary Turzillo, Nebula-Award author of "Mars Is No Place for Children" “Over the years, Bruce Boston has written quite a few poems about people. I suppose many of us do, but not the way he does. His people are archetypal: cat people, rat people, paper people, star people, 37 different kinds in all. What I like best about them is their link between the absurd and the alarmingly real. They show us facets of ourselves that we may not have paid sufficient attention to. Boston uses the poems in Anthropomorphisms to illustrate the very real foibles of the human race.” –David C. Kopaska-Merkel, author of The Tin Men with Kendall Evans |
