Editorial Reviews

Review

...one of four or five authentic voices currently writing speculative poetry...innovative in language and line...tough and consistent. -- Michael R. Collings, SFRA REVIEW #215, Jan.-Feb. 1995

...richly evocative science fiction poems...nobody can take me to The Beyond like Boston. -- -Richard Levesque, SCAVENGER'S NEWSLETTER

Not one of these poems doesn't work....And the longer works are everything you could ask for. -- -Terry McGarry, STAR*LINE, Nov.-Dec., 1993
