A wonderfully beautiful and thought-provoking collection of poems that centres around science fiction, tales of the future, AI, the body, and many more!
This was such a great read that any fan of poetry or sci-fi will appreciate. There is truly a poem for everyone in this collection. This book consists of poems written in many different forms and styles, from long to short, ones that tell us a story and others that will leave you with existential dread.
I would love to receive this as a gift and will definitely be gifting it forward!
I had two absolutely favourites from this collection!
'Taxi Ride' by Ian Goh is a heartbreaking poem discussing the impact of a disaster on a town with the most beautiful of imagery.
'Somebody I used to love asks me who Marie Curie is' by Carly Rubin, which discusses Marie Curie and how important of a figure she is and should remain to be.
Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publishers for this wonderful ARC in exchange for an honest review.
