The Garden Black poetry collection is a venture into fantasy and speculative fiction based on the dual themes of rain forest and fantasy. . The rainforest becomes a desert, and then the sea. . A man in a satellite orbits the earth while playing his violin and pondering. A girl gazes up at the passing light and dances. . Od Ovo - a youth who is from here, raises the dust of frustrated boredom on a mining asteroid, and cannot believe traveller tales of places where water falls from the sky. . What colour are the flowers in the Reaper's garden? They are all colours . . . They are black. Welcome to the speculative fantasies that are The Garden Black.
