Astrosommelier, by R. Mac Jones

Poetry, chapbook, 24 pages, from Bottlecap Features. Astrosommelier is speculative poetry asking what alcohol might be in a variety of futures: what wine will taste like in space, what whiskey will be distilled on an abandoned planet, what it will feel like to pop a beer bottlecap in our cyberpunk tomorrow. Our links to drink are chains that weigh heavy and ties that bind, and in these poems the futures we are fermenting look to carry on this complicated relationship. The poems in this collection brim with hope and despair. They decant dreams and nightmares. They raise a glass to lens what might be. R. Mac Jones is a poet and illustrator. His work has appeared in Star*Line, Strange Horizons, Daily Science Fiction, Penumbric, Space and Time, and elsewhere.
