The book is available for pre-order now and as an added bonus the first 100 pre-orders will be signed. Below you can check out the first blurb for the book, provided by the inimitable Claire L.

“'Lost City Hydrothermal Field' is in the world, but it’s not of it. Peter Milne Greiner is the voice of the cosmic mundane—sublime, real, and existentially funny.” - Claire L. Evans 

Drawing on the work of such thinkers as John McPhee, Rachel Carson, Timothy Morton, Frank White, and others, 'Lost City Hydrothermal Field' explores philosophies of nature old and new through poetry and science fiction. The anthropocene crisis and the crisis of humanity-as-invasive-species are framed in this text as global, as well as personal, misadventures. A mixed-genre work, readers encounter poems and stories—islands and continents—in a rapid succession of speculative geography, and readers are invited to join its beleaguered, psychozoic populations.

Peter Milne Greiner’s work has been featured in Motherboard, Dark Mountain, Fence, SciArt Magazine, and elsewhere, and has been lauded by the likes of Jeff VanderMeer and Claire L. Evans. He studied poetry at The New School under Sekou Sundiata, and is a scholar of the history of the Roaring Forties. In July of 2013 he sent a poem into space through the Jamesburg Earth Station in Carmel Valley, California. He is the author of the chapbook 'Executive Producer Chris Carter.' 'Lost City Hydrothermal Field' is his first full length collection.
