Review
The sheer variety of poems in Where Rockets Burn Through makes the book a veritable chocolate box - an excellent addition to the science fiction poetry genre. - 8 / 10, Starburst An unusual stocking-filler. - The Telegraph Poetry and Science Fiction are, on this evidence, very complementary forms, in that both require the writer, and reader, to make great leaps of the imagination. - The Skinny An achievement and a milestone. - Poetry Scotland Reviews I should probably check my enthusiasm and not say this is a landmark anthology, but I believe it is a major one. [...] What a treasure trove to come across! - Science Fiction Poetry Association
