Dreaming Spheres: Poems of the Solar System

Allen Ashley, Sarah Doyle

Cover art by Bruce Pennington.

Have you ever wondered what Planet Earth thinks of us? Or what the Moon has to say about the Earth? How about which astronomical bodies are going through an acrimonious custody battle, or coping with a prodigal satellite?  Who is the clown of the Solar System? And just what is the deal with those pesky asteroids?

In Dreaming Spheres: Poems of the Solar System, Sarah Doyle and Allen Ashley answer all of these questions, and more. Incorporating science fiction speculation, science fact, fantastic extrapolation and mythology, these poems will take you on a voyage of discovery from the Sun at the centre of our great gyratory system all the way out to Pluto and beyond.
