THIS PLANET IS DOOMED serves up a traumatic torrent of future shock from Afrofuturist Sun Ra's deeply personal and critical commentary and unsettling advice to the people of Earth, who fail to acknowledge this planet's role in the universe.

These lost poems, culled from the vaults by Sun Ra Music Archive director Michael Anderson, are available for the first time in this hip pocket paperback from KICKS BOOKS.

Poet Amiri Baraka's estimable foreword, together with science fiction historian Bhob Stewart's revealing introduction, set the stage for the heavy dose of the real and the unreal, which are delivered in the pages of THIS PLANET IS DOOMED.
