  • Fort Clark Stories
    James Togeas
    Fort Clark is a not quite fictional city as I explain in the preface and appendix to the book. The characters and events are fictional in the sense that I have not recorded actual events happening to identifiable people. My goal has been to craft stories that are, as Lamb has written, 'shadows of fact--verisimilitudes, not verities.' ...

  • The Pearl and Other Tales of Imagination
    James Togeas
    Thirteen tales: one each of a lost pearl, of the high middle ages, of crossing into a neighboring universe, of a plain old-fashioned ghost story, of an unhappy computer, of a visit to the city of the dead, of crossing the gap between self and nature; and two each of childhood, of the silliness of commerce, and of ultra-strong gravity. ...

  • Black Book of Poems
    James Togeas
    Poems in the Black Book are grouped into three sets: family; the larger world; and day and night. There’s no free verse: the closest is a poem in blank verse and a prose poem. Most of the formal verse consists of sonnets, although there are four other formal poems, two in regular forms and two in irregular. ...

  • Again
    James Togeas
    Repetition is the only form of permanence that nature can achieve, says philosopher George Santayana. Exact recurrence of the same has a vanishingly small probability, but it seems likely that everyone has experience of nearly recurrent events, that is, events that make the past seem to be a part of the present. The novel 'Again' features three intertwined stories of near-repet...

It is about the perpetual interplay between theory and observation in science. It is about the confusion of youth, about love found and then destroyed, and about the steadfastness of love. It is about the days of the author’s y...

  • De Cesi & Other Fey Stories
    James Togeas
    The precise meaning of fey is fated to die, but more loosely it refers to the irrational or fantastic. Six of these seven fey stories are set on earth. Of the six, two take place in the present, and the other four in what could be the near future; the seventh takes place on a planet outside of our solar system. If one thinks of them as science fiction, then they are fiction clo...

The time ...
