Publisher's Synopsis
In WORDS WORDS WORDS: POEMS, poet, critic, and scholar Michael R. Collings explored the histories of more than 150 words, deftly translating their quirks and twists into poetry and verse. Now, in WORDS WORDS WORDS 2: THE DARKER SIDE, he performs the same transformation on over 100 more, this time focusing on more shadowed possibilities. Included is a Nebula nominee and Rhysling Award Finalist, "The Last Pastoral," in the original English and in a Klingon translation--among the first translations of a classically-modeled pastoral into the language.
