This excerpted collection of Akie Bermiss’ Alien Love Songs is from a much longer work that seeks to explore the nature of love and humanity through the eyes of an outsider. They tell the story of an alien stranded on Earth who falls in love with a world-weary human through the universal language of music. Star Trek meets West Side Story. They are songs of loss and longing, of faith and hope, blending elements of science (both real and fictional), poetry, and philosophy to hone in on the true “nature” of love. Who among us has not felt, at times, like they did not belong? Like they were an outsider or alien? And yet, we have still hoped for (and some, miraculously found) love.
