Dreamers on the Sea of Fate
an anthology of SF poetry edited by Steve Sneyd
containing poems by Michael Moorcock,
Brian M. Stableford, Robert P. Holdstock,
Andrew Darlington, Noel K. Hannan, David Wingrove,
Ian McMillan and many others

“Many of these poets were inspired by Edward Lucie-Smith's seminal anthology Holding Your Eight Hands (1969), and with Steve Sneyd's sure touch Dreamers on the Sea of Fate could well prove to be just as much of a landmark collection.” —BBR Directory
