Publisher's Synopsis
Off Earth is a collection of "poems and effects" written and created by John Robert Colombo. This is his first new collection of poetry since the appearance of Selected Poems and Selected Translations in 1982. The new work gives expression to a skepticism modified by a sense of the possibilities occasioned by the prospects of outer space. John Robert Colombo, nationally known as "the Master Gatherer," is the author, translator, and compiler of a great many publications. In fact, Off Earth is his seventy-sixth book. It is perhaps his most intriguing, inventive, and stimulating in scope and substance.
