Today's poem is "Lost Worlds"

from Colorado Review

James Earp is a native of the American southwest, emeritus ("out of merit") adjunct professor of English at the University of Nevada/Las Vegas, where he received the MFA in creative writing, he previously worked as a staff writer at Walt Disney Imagineering as a concept/script writer for LucasArts, a division of Lucasfilm, and advertising agencies include Bozell & Jacobs, Saatchi & Saatchi, and Young & Rubicam. In order to forestall the danger, however remote, of actually making any money, Earp continues the study and practice of fiction and, to seal the deal, poetry.
