Q&A for the End of the World

Q&A for the End of the World is a new series of poems about science fiction movies from the 1950's and 1960's, including such classics as "Godzilla" and "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Written alternately by the two authors, the book's twenty poems act as a call-and-response for each movie. The poems address facets of film technique, pop culture, race, gender-as well as fears of nuclear war, dehumanization, and the "other"-with curiosity, skepticism, and affection.
