Subject: Immortalist poetry

Of  passing interest (but great delight to me), I have had 4
immortalist poems  published in the current issue of 'Ambit'
(October 2007, #190) in the UK -  a very good glossy literary
magazine - including  this:

DEATH

Death will be harder now, as, year by year,
We  solve the clues of immortality:
Emotions sink to animality
As false  hopes tighten screws of desperate fear.
Hormone control will make age  disappear--
After false starts, most horrible to see--
But those already  old must beg to be
Frozen for the genetic engineer.
While war,  starvation, pipe Earth's gruesome jigs,
Successful businessmen will fight  to gain
Some dead teen's body, to transplant their brain,
The  already-old beg to be guinea-pigs.
Children, look back, hear  our despairing cry:
We bred immortals, but we had to  die!


Of course, I encourage Brits to rush out and buy their own  copy -
but contact me if you'd like to see the others.

Robin  Helweg-Larsen




Hi Robin,
 
Congratulations on being published, and interesting poem  above.  
 
I liked it!
 
Creativity, especially of cryonics and life extension memes, should  be 
encouraged...
 
Warmly,
 
Rudi
