Familiar in the West from the Old Testament book of Genesis, the story of a great flood and a boatbuilder is far older than that biblical tale, and has existed in many cultures and religions for thousands of years. Despite there being--at least so far--no archaeological evidence of a widespread inundation, this colourful tale continues to exercise a powerful hold on the imaginations of both theologians and scientists. The Valley of the Eight dips into the ancient tale itself, and then shifts its attention to the search for, and alleged discovery of, the remains of the Ark on Mount Ararat in modern day Turkey. Fascinating, knowledgeable and clever, this is Matt Bialer at his very best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatt Bialer is the author of numerous previous books of poetry including \u003cem\u003eRadius\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWing of Light\u003c\/em\u003e (Les Editions du Zaporogue), \u003cem\u003eAlready Here\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eArk\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBlack Powder\u003c\/em\u003e, (Black Coffee Press), \u003cem\u003eBridge \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eFrequencies\u003c\/em\u003e (Leaky Boot Press), \u003cem\u003eTell Them What I Saw\u003c\/em\u003e (PS Publishing), \u003cem\u003eHe Walks On All Fours\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eKings of Men\u003c\/em\u003e (Dynatox Ministries) and \u003cem\u003eAscent\u003c\/em\u003e (Bizarro Pulp Press).
