Robert – Bob – Calvert died, tragically early, over a decade ago.
Yet his work, his influences, live on.
Those great musical survivors, Hawkwind, have continued to bring his lyrics to enthusiastic, even fanatical, audiences worldwide. His lyrics – and his extraordinary science fiction poems.
This book explores those poems in depth, sets them in the context of the extraordinary variety of Calvert's creative activity, and shows why the ultimate space rock icon is also a key figure in the development of SF poetry, a real prophet of his age.
