Welcome Home, Andromeda

5/5 ( ratings)

A follow-up to his laudable chapbook, Checking Tickets on Oumaumua, prolific poet-extraordinaire Tim Heerdink brings us Welcome Home, Andromeda, a post-apocalyptic poetic novella. At its core, this is a story of a father protecting his small daughter, Andromeda, who may be the only hope for the future of humanity and the planet, to which he is returning to for the first time in years, and Andromeda for the first time. In the grander picture, it is a poetic warning of the destruction of which mankind is capable; the father no longer recognizes his home planet, long ago ravaged from disease and war, as he journeys to a mountain while a black hole expands toward them in space. A narrative in the tradition of Stephen King and Cormac McCarthy, told in verse, Welcome Home, Andromeda is a triumph.

-Joshua Britton, author of Tadpoles and Heart Decisions
