Inhaltsangabe

The title of this book is taken from a line in a poem in the book, "Where Realities End." It is my firm belief that all of reality is the detritus of the past, which is Before Today, transformed on the forge of the now, into that which may become in the future, which is Beyond Tomorrow. I feel the Multiverse is a conscious entity, which utilizes me, and, indeed, all creatives, as conduits, enabling its thoughts and creativity to come into existence. This is why the subtitle of this book is "Poems from the Multiverse."
