A tough Texas crime reporter, pulp writer, and much else – she ended up with an FBI file on her socialist and feminist views – Lilith Lorraine chose that pen-name in honour of a fellow "troublemaker", Adam's first wife.
Already middle-aged when she became America's first woman poet of science fiction, she brought startling savagery to her visions of future Armageddon, haunting beauty to her explorations of strange Tomorrows.
This selection from the work of an unjustly-neglected pioneer in her field is an overdue opportunity to rediscover the freshness and strength of her poems of the Not-Yet and Still-To-Come.
