Welcome to the year 14,000,002,024! We survived one
of the most memorable years in Human History! but our
spiral Galaxy keeps on spinning!!! On
September 5, 2015 my mom unepectedly died, and even though she
was 93, somehow I was surprised, and profoundly affected. As a
poet I tried to capture my feelings, as best I could, and turned them into about 50 poems. It is true that these poems are about my mom,but i tried to capture the experience of a sentient being at this time in this place. From time to time I will put a poem or two up
on this site. Here is one of my micro poems that just came out
in the Special 40th Anniversary of the Jan/Feb 2017 Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine: THE INFINITE ABYSS Once mom died I felt
the weight and immensity of never and forever. The best way
to contact me is to text my cell phone:617.512.9196. Please Identify yourself in the text, or of course at my email: payack@aol.com

A poem from The Book of Conceptual Anarchy
THE MIGRATION OF DARKNESS, and its many lives You know how poems can be like your children, once you
write and publish them they take on a life of their own? Well, way back in 1978, I wrote a poem called The Migration of Darkness. It was published
in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine in 1979 and in 1980 was awarded The
Rhysling Award for the years best poem in science fiction. It
has subsequently been re-published dozens of times and in the last year has picked up a few more honors. In 2007, the notable writer and critic Greg Beatty said "the poet and the poem were canonized"
as part of science fiction literary history. And within the last
few months, Quirk Press named it as the Numero Uno poem that comebines Poetry
and Art. On top of all that, a science fiction
website, named it number 5 of the top ten science ficrion poems of all times. And
all this while I'm just sitting on my fat ass! (Metaphorically, that is, I just started running again, after my two knee replacements and heart procedures last summer. Take
