“Oblivion in Flux is a vivid, lyrical, grotesque delight for cosmic horror readers.“— Lucy A. Snyder, author of Exposed Nerves “Maxwell Ian Gold is a truly distinctive voice in contemporary weird fiction. Oblivion in Flux shows his mastery of one of the most difficult of literary forms—the prose poem. Gold paints a chilling portrait of paltry humans at the mercy of gods of our own making—the gods of cyberspace. A vibrant imagination, a striking use of metaphor and symbol, and a sure grasp of form and nuance—all these elements make this book a memorable venture into cosmic terror.”—S. T. Joshi “With Oblivion in Flux, Maxwell Ian Gold’s debut collection of prose poetry creations, the author beckons you into his universe of imagination. Using wild images, meter, and words in his idiosyncratic way Gold breaks down what you recognize and know and builds it back for you infused with… new meanings- as our cherished poets and storytellers are known to do.”—Daniel Braum author of Underworld Dreams “Maxwell Ian Gold is one of the latest bright rising stars to illuminate the poetry landscape. With lush language and cutting syntax, Oblivion in Flux dares to break fresh territory. Poetry that takes a step beyond to capture the cyber gods between inky lines. I look forward to seeing what he does next.“—Angela Yuriko Smith, publisher Space and Time, award winning speculative author and poet “Maxwell Ian Gold’s work marries the hot-house decadence of Clark Ashton Smith with the visionary queer sensibility of Jean Genet and David Wojanrowicz. These word-drunk pieces simmer with a fever-dream intensity.”—Craig Laurance Gidney, author of A Spectral Hue.
