Saturn: Black Iron Prison is a poetic meditation on the vision of Philip K. Dick and some of the major themes at the heart of his works: the difficult nature of reality or being able to grasp or even prove it, humanity versus simulacra, the plastic nature of time, his strangely beautiful notion that truth will be imprinted on discarded things rather than within the pages of official texts, paranoia and mental illness, alternate realities, implanted memories, advertising and commerce as control, etc. The italicized titles of these 269 poems are all phrases taken directly from the novels and stories of PKD as well as his Exegesis.
