[Ken Goudsward · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fabulous science fiction poetry and scifaiku by a very talented international group of poets. There's robots, there's aliens, there's intergalactic war, there's the eternal quest for peace, there's love found and love lost. Underneath it all, is the quest, the truth, and the realization of humanity.

On balance, I wasn't too taken with this collection, which includes free verse, and haiku.
Pioneer by Stephanie Barr is the standout, a great colony poem.
I also quite liked Kimberley Nugent's Mars colony poem, Where We Go They Follow, and her haiku A Sun's Death.
