The Cure for Gravity: Speculative Fiction and Short Poetry
Synopsis
A collection of ten short stories and eight poems, spanning genres and narrative styles from science fiction to magical realism, beat poetry to prose; The Cure for Gravity is a book that seeks to uncover the reader's heart by placing it in the most impossible of scenarios - for it is when things seem most impossible, most bleak, the stakes highest, that we truly understand ourselves. Parents struggle with guilt, neglect and abandonment beyond the confines of space; lovers pine and grieve at the end of the world or the edge of the known universe; a murder mystery in the streets of a New Zealand town quickly becomes a commentary on classism and art censorship. In these stories and more, we see the world of gods and monsters is surprisingly human - and taken to what extremes they may, everyone has a story to tell.
