Dragons & Rayguns is Vince Gotera's first poetry collection since being named Iowa Poet Laureate in 2024. It's an inventive and wide-ranging collection of speculative poetry. Come for the Filipino mythology and classic cartoon aliens, stay for the masterful use of poetic forms and vivid language. Colleen Anderson writes of Dragons & Rayguns that  “this stellar collection is a love affair that reveals part of Vince’s soul, whether it’s Filipino monsters, music, science fiction, letters to Jimi Hendrix or Roger Zelazny, or dragons plagued with performance issues.” Click here to read an interview with Vince about Dragons & Rayguns.

Vince Gotera is also the author of the Final Thursday Press collections The Coolest Month and Ghost Wars.
