Review "What is most impressive about Bruce Boston's work is not simply that his writings range across the genre spectrum of SF, fantasy, horror, and mystery - it's the way his marvelous application of words pull together and weave the disparate elements of genre shadings into a cohesive whole." - Steven Hampton, The Zone
From the Back Cover Resonance Dark & Light brings together 52 previously uncollected poems from SFPA Grandmaster Bruce Boston, ranging from horror to science fiction, with stops along the way for poems surreal, ekphrastic, and mainstream. Includes the winner of the 2013 Balticon Poetry Award, reprints from Analog, Asimov's SF, New Myths, Jamais Vu, and other leading genre publications, and seven poems appearing here for the first time. "In the tradition of traveling bards whose lyrics could inspire dreams, Boston extends the literary tradition of our most celebrated poets. The monsters in our nightmares have been named by Boston's genius, with imagery that teaches that horror and surrealism are beautiful and eternal. He is the poet laureate of horror, a bard whose words shall linger long in the minds of those who read him." --Vincenzo Bilof, author of The Horror Show "There are popular poets everyone loves to read, literary poets whose words refine the artistic goals of the present, speculative poets who embody the essence of sf and fantasy, horror poets that raise the smoke ghosts of the 21rst Century, but as far as I know Bruce Boston is the only poet of excellence who covers all of these bases. In the last thirty years I've been reading him, his words have never failed to enchant and delight me." --Don Webb, author of Through Dark Angles
About the Author Bruce Boston's poetry and fiction have appeared in hundreds of publications, including Asimov's SF, Amazing Stories, Realms of Fantasy, Strange Horizons, Weird Tales, The Pedestal Magazine, The Twilight Zone Magazine, Year's Best Fantasy & Horror, and the Nebula Awards Showcase. His poetry has received the Bram Stoker Award, the Asimov's Readers' Award, the Rhysling Award of the Science Fiction Poetry Association, the Balticon Poetry Award, and the Grandmaster Award of the SFPA. His fiction has received a Pushcart Prize and twice been a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award (novel, short story). He holds the distinctions of having appeared in more issues of Asimov's SF than any other author, and of coining the word "cybertext." Bruce's writing stretches from humor to surrealism, with many stops along the way for science fiction, fantasy, horror, and noir. He has published fifty books and chapbooks, including the novels The Guardener's Tale and Stained Glass Rain. His best stories are collected in Masque of Dreams, his best poetry in Sensuous Debris and Dark Roads. Bruce was born of Catholic and Jewish heritage in Chicago in 1943, and grew up in Southern California in an era of rock and roll, the Cold War, and the Space Race. From 1961-2001, He lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, attending and graduating from the University of California, Berkeley, while active in the psychedelia and political protests of the 1960s. He has worked in a variety of occupations, including computer programmer, college professor, technical writer, book designer, movie projectionist, gardener, and furniture mover. He now lives in Ocala, Florida, once known as The City of Trees, with my wife, writer-artist Marge Simon and the ghosts of two cats. For Bruce's thoughts on speculative poetry and writing, see John Amen's interview with him at The Pedestal Magazine and JoSelle Vanderhooft's interview with him at Strange Horizons. For a retrospective essay on his poetry, see Gary William Crawford's essay "Songs of the Stars, Songs of the Dark." New & Recent Resonance Dark & Light

I don’t know anyone else who has a better claim over a career By Charles Gramlich Should we call Bruce Boston the hardest working man in speculative poetry? I don’t know anyone else who has a better claim over a career, and certainly no one who has demonstrated the kind of consistent brilliance that Boston has. His poems are widely published for a very good reason; they resonate with readers. Boston’s latest collection even has “resonance” in its title, and ends with a masterful piece entitled “Resonance Redux.”Resonance Dark & Light contains fifty-two poems. Many of these have been published in poetry magazines around the world, although several are new. Several are also award winning pieces, such as “The Music of the Stars,” which won the 2013 Balticon Poetry Award. Such is the quality of all these pieces, however, that the award winners don’t generally call any special attention to themselves among the other fine works. An exception to this, for me, is “Surreal Shopping List,” which won the SFPA’s 2014 Dwarf Form (under 11 lines) Category. I don’t know that this is my favorite Bruce Boston poem ever, but it’s my favorite right now. It seems so deceptively simple as well, and yet I’ve been trying—without succeeding—for a month now to produce even a semblance of its “coolness.”I don’t know that it was Boston’s intent, but I felt like the first poems in this collection were more light-hearted than much of the previous stuff I’ve read from him. The pieces then turned darker, and darker, before lightening up again toward the end. It felt much like the passing of day into night and back to day, or perhaps like the progression of the seasons. The title itself suggests such a passage.All I really know is that Resonance Dark & Light, tickled me, chilled me, and set me to thinking. Ranging from the Bradburyesque imagery of “The Music of Skeletons,” and “Chrononaut Inductees,” to the science fiction terrors of “Tasty Horrors,” to the sheer fun of “Not Only Thoats,” to the impossible to categorize pieces like “Surreal Shopping List,” this collection is hard to pigeonhole but impossible not to enjoy. For more information about Bruce Boston and his work, you can also check out his website, www.bruceboston.comAnd just remember, “not only thoats need the warm dark.”

By JLC Multi-award-winning poet Bruce Boston presents in this volume a banquet for the mind and spirit—playful, sly, humorous, horrific, mischievous, wonderful! Music and remembrance dance through these pages, songs of life and death and otherness. The music of werewolves is “wrenching heavy metal”, the devil and his minions sing in a drunken revel, the music of vampires is “ethereal and damned”, while the reaper’s music “ends with a death rattle”. Luxuriate in “The Music of Deep Spacers” and “The Music of the Stars”, then fly back to earthly realms and enjoy some grisly but “Tasty Horrors” and an “Endless Summer.” Experience a “Septuagenarian Flashback” and the sad and dispiriting “Death of the Crossing Guard.” Revisit Mr. Boston’s astounding and eerie Mutant Rain Forest, and make a stop in “Middletown, USA, 1953”…if you dare. Many more poems are included herein, and five poems appear in this marvelous collection for the first time anywhere, including “The Music of Skeletons.” What do you think the music of skeletons sounds like? I know, and you can find out purchasing this dazzling--and resonant--collection by a grandmaster of poetry. I’ll be reading it again. And again.

Clark "Resonance Dark & Light" is an excellent collection of sf, horror, and surreal poems by Bruce Boston. I've enjoyed his work for years, already owning a number of his other books, and found this book one of the strongest of the bunch. This selection of his work will have to do for now, until a massive collected Bruce Boston tome comes out. If you're interested in speculative poetry, get this book, as Boston is a true pro by any standard.
