Mitchell, Jack
Entry updated 27 April 2026. Tagged: Author, Poet.
(1977- ) Canadian academic and poet who is of sf interest for his second book-length narrative poem, The Odyssey of Star Wars (2021), a linguistically inventive retelling in Miltonic blank verse of the central epic embedded in the Star Wars universe; Space Opera and epic are made to seem consanguinous. His young-adult tales set in ancient Rome are nonfantastic. [JC]
