Praise for The Sci-fi Haiku:

• "Genuinely fun."

• "As a fan of speculative fiction, these quick little poems on themes the genre is known for are so comforting to me. It's such a great break from the huge novels we all go for. Sometimes you just need a tiny bite of SFF, and these are just the thing."

• "An unexpected and intriguing collection of poetry. The haiku range from the tart and witty, to the narrative and adventurous, to the thoughtful and profound. Some are genuinely beautiful."
