Praise for AFTER MIDNIGHT, STILL WARM

“With his wry humor, Denehan takes you on an intergalactic-poetic trip, full of sublime terror of the future, the love of family, and how we relate to each other in this world.”
— Brian Dickson, author of All Points Radiant

“This is a Twilight Zone meets classic gothic literary devices meets the lore of Area 51. After Midnight, Still Warm is a collection that provides a critique of our most human attribute, our closest emotional relationships. Denehan examines love with its scope of pain through the context of otherworldly phenomena. It’s the everyday that displays the extraordinary, which can be seen in lines like, ‘we have travelled/over four billion miles/to talk about the weather’ and ‘apart form the fact/that we are different species/from different galaxies/we get along pretty well, and/every evening/watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.’ What you need to know most about After Midnight, Still Warm is to take observation of the subtle yet significant shifts that exist in our own universes or as Denehan puts it ‘that everything is different/while nothing much has changed.’ And what do to with that observation? Well, that’s up to you, star-gazer.”

“From hard science fiction takes to quiet moments of contemporary contemplation, Steve Denehan’s After Midnight, Still Warm welds wordplay and structure together to create a telescope through which we might view the universe with fresh eyes.”
— Greg Leunig, author of Colossus and Cold Wind Blowing
