I rarely give 5 stars. According to GoodReads 5 stars are for the most amazing books. So, unless it's truly amazing I will give a great book 4 stars. this one gets 5. The poems are all excellent, the illustrations/artwork are stunning and the product is wonderful.

I have reviewed this wonderful collection in depth on the SFPA website: http://sfpoetry.com/sl/reviews/14reviews.html

And an expanded review at Amazing Stories: http://amazingstoriesmag.com/2015/05/graphic-poetry-review-stairs-appear-hole-outside-town/

The complete title poem with the illustration and recitation by me (look for the audio file at the end of the graphic poem) can be found on Rattle.com: http://www.rattle.com/poetry/tag/graphic-poetry/

There are five great speculative poems in here accompanied by stunning artwork. Each poem is relatable and digs at the human condition despite the fantastic subject material. The goose poem is my favorite, and I've read it several times already.
