Praise for "Iron Angels" |
"These poems by Geoffrey A. Landis run the gamut from … silly
putty to supernova. … Some poems I read twice (and out loud!)
My favorites are about the ten ways to tell if your cat is a
space alien, the time machine used for hiding Christmas
presents in the future, and the absolutely glorious word
picture of Gulliver striding through the universe in
exponential seven league boots." --
Jane Yolen, poet and two time Nebula winner for "Sister
Emily's Lightship" and "Lost Girls" www.janeyolen.net
"Yeasty poems-- they're as engaging as they are eclectic."
-- David Barber (poetry editor, The
Atlantic Monthly)
"People say there's poetry in science and they must be
right because here it is. "-- Jo
Walton, author of The King's Peace, The King's Name, and
Farthing "… Each poem simply launches off its
page into new realms of witty insight. After reading Iron
Angels, you will be convinced your cat is a space alien, that
you need a Time Machine for Christmas, and that you’ll know
what to do if given a pair of exponential boots. A simply
wonderful book, I can’t recommend this one enough."
-- Deborah P Kolodji, President,
