Praise for The Stars as Seen from this Particular Angle of Night:

"This is a wonderful collection of speculative verse, varied in subject, literate in execution."
—Charles de Lint, author of Moonheart and The Onion Girl

"These poems are remarkable in their variety and freshness. A bouquet of surprises and wonders."
—Joe Haldeman, author of Saul's Death and other science fiction poetry

"Whether you like science fiction or not, if you like poetry this is a book for you. There are a lot of unfamiliar good poets, and good new poems in it, no matter what your aesthetic bias."
—David G. Hartwell, publisher, The Little Magazine (1969–1988)

"Drawing on science, myth, folklore, and sheer unbridled imagination, these poems remind us that just beyond the comfortable boundaries of our own reality—and sometimes within them—the world is very strange indeed. A stellar collection!"
—Marie Jakober, author of The Black Chalice

"Warning: Read with care. Contains condensed whimsy, speculation, fabulation and possibly prophecy. May explode in the mind. This is intense distilled science fiction."
—Robert Priest, author of Blue Pyramids

"The Stars as Seen is a showcase for a lot of poets with a lot to say and hundreds of ways to say it: here we have sheer, spinning invention, genuine passion, and many points of view, none of them comfortable or conventional. If genre poetry still needs a justification, this is it."
—Peter Straub, author of Mr. X and Black House (with Stephen King)
