"Jessy Randall's
poems arrive like gifts when it isn't even your birthday. Witty, deliciously
bite-sized, frisky, strange and real as dreams, these are poems you will
savor and show your pals." -- David Graham
"The only good
science fiction poems ever written are by Jessy Randall ... Sometimes
sarcastic, sometime full of awe and sadness, Randall's poems are smart,
lovely observations for people whose emotional landscapes are populated
by imaginary beings no less poignant than real ones." -- Annalee
Newitz, io9
