LAST TRAIN
TO THE MISSING PLANET
Acclaimed
for combining the accessible and profound, Kim Dower’s
poetry has been described by The Los Angeles Times as
“Sensual and evocative . . . seamlessly combining humor
and heartache,” and by O Magazine as “unexpected and
sublime.” Her third collection, Last Train to the
Missing Planet, rockets forward in this trajectory,
taking us on a journey to places we’ve often visited but
never seen. Buy a ticket and hop aboard: experience
love, longing, and passion tipped sideways; irreverent,
touching, and disarmingly sexy as illuminated by an
original and brilliant light. Lose yourself in the
unexplored sensations of the ordinary in this engaging
year of moments, both comforting and terrifying—and
always extraordinary.

SLICE OF
MOON
In her
second collection, Slice of Moon, Kim Dower
retains her whimsical style while reaching deeper inside
what it means to be human -- writing of love, longing,
motherhood, vulnerability, death -- with the same humor
and accessibility of her earlier work, but with greater
lyrical intensity, irony, poignancy. The collection is a
rainbow rope of entwined emotional fibers, each one a
different expression: funny, sad, angry, loving, strong,
fearful, sexy, and Kim Dower weaves these colors
beautifully to create Slice of Moon, a book that
resonates with honesty and the complexities of life.

AIR KISSING
ON MARS
This collection of 71
poems is a sensual and rhapsodic journey through
emotional landscapes sweeping everyday life. Playful,
intelligent, funny, edgy, engaging—sometimes biting,
ironic and dark, sometimes dreamy and surreal, full of
poignancy and arresting metaphors, the daily, simple
occurrences in Air Kissing On Mars startle and
provoke, while stirring up the fairy dust and turbulent
weight of memory; evoking the possibilities and gorgeous
chaos of life. Open and inviting, these poems draw the
reader into a world seen upside down, inside out, a
sideways bird reporting on a universe filled with
mystery and passion.
