The Black Ship only knows one destination: the unknown.

The Black Ship is the latest poetry collection from award-winning poet David Clink, a follow-up to his The Role of Lightning in Evolution. The Black Ship continues Clink's mastery of genre poetry, the speculative writing of spaceships and monsters, domed cities and dinosaurs, ghosts and dragons, that he is known for. These poems invite you to visit a reality that is as much a part of our own reality, yet set apart, something else, something different, something living within us, something hopeful and terrifying at the same time.
