Customer Reviews

The most remarkable epic poem of this century

It is rare book that can be called unique. Frederick Turner's The New World is an epic poem about the future and the past, about democracy, fundamentalism, human nature, heroism, evil, honor and love. All this and great science fiction fantasy too! The language of the poem is wonderfully rich but easily readable, written in an iambic pentameter that ranges from conversational to grand. I can't recommend a book more highly. I am embarassed to say that I've read it five or six times.
