So. She was an alien.Why was she alone on Earth?Surely the psychiatrist who hypnotized her would share the news with the authorities.They would want to capture her and interrogate for for information she didn't have.Time to go Outside the Dome into the intolerable heat with bugs, rejects and criminals.Time to leave the only parents she'd ever known and loved, and find the birth mother she'd only seen in a vision.Time to figure out how to leave when there was no transport Outside unless you broke the rules and were taken out.Not an option. She would have to go soon because they would be tracking her and even her freaky powers wouldn't save her.

Intergalactic Travels: poems from a fugitive alien is a poetry memoir that takes up the intersections of Indigeneity, Blackness, queerness and migration as it relates to U.S. federal immigration law. The book pushes the boundaries of an "undocumented immigrant narrative"via the poet's refusal to belong to United Statian society and the refusal of a structured poetics.In fact, the chaotic geographies of the manuscript (collages + photographs + emails + negative space) formulate theories of fugitivity that position the transAtlantic slave trade and Indigenous dispossession as root causes of undocumented immigration. In this refusal of national belonging and form, the book asks for a critical kinship that the law can never account for, and thus, Pelaez Lopez negotiates legal status for new imaginaries of care. As a whole, the manuscript asks: "what does it mean that a descendant of enslaved Africans becomes an illegal alien in the same continent that subjugated their ancestors to chattel slavery?" Furthermore, "can an Indigenous subject of this continent be considered 'illegal' in the continent of their ancestors?"

Betrayed, kidnapped, and nearly beaten to death, Lexie finally wakes up with no memory of who she was, and told her place is as a slave, serving a cruel master. When she is sold to the temple to become a servant of the sun goddesses because of her yellow hair and pale skin, she thinks life is getting better, until she finds out that "serving" them involves being sent to them in person. She knows she has barely days to escape or her dreams of loving a pale silver-hued warrior will never come true. Tamrath-already drowning in guilt because he'd been forced to reject her-has barely four weeks to find his Earth female before war breaks out and all Ishtaan tries to stop the slaughter of the natives in the Lakesh mountains of his home planet. In a race against time, Tamrath doesn't know what may be more impossible, battling the fanatics about to execute Lexie, or begging forgiveness and convincing the love of his life he was wrong to ever let her go... And not making that mistake a second time. ...Please check the content warning notice before the prequel...

“[Norman Lock’s fiction] shimmers with glorious language, fluid rhythms, and complex insights.” —NPR In Norman Lock’s fourth stand-alone book of The American Novels series, Samuel Long escapes slavery in Virginia, traveling the Underground Railroad to Walden Woods where he encounters Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, William Lloyd Garrison, and other transcendentalists and abolitionists. While Long will experience his coming-of-age at Walden Pond, his hosts will receive a lesson in human dignity, culminating in a climactic act of civil disobedience. Against this historical backdrop, Lock’s powerful narrative examines issues that continue to divide the United States: racism, privilege, and what it means to be free in America.

He lives in Aberdeen, New Jersey, where he is at work on the next books of The American Novels series.
