Spacers Snarled in the Hair of Comets

"The poems in Spacers Snarled in the Hair of Comets are a wonderful evocation of the Romance and Reality of the science fiction space odyssey - vast journeys, hallucinatory mindscapes, and the lives of both the spacers who travel among the stars as well as those who write about them. Loved the language and the way all the pieces came together like mosaic tiles to conjure a cosmic adventure." - Jeffrey Ford, Nebula and World Fantasy Awards, author of Ahab's Return "It's my favorite kind of science fiction, ad astra, written by my favorite poet in the field. Boston's poems are gorgeous, luminous, and profound. At times he even writes like a prophet. Give this book an afternoon, and it will take you to the stars." - John Philip Johnson, Pushcart Prize-winning poet, author of The Book of Fly. "For Spacers Snarled in the Hair of Comets sings the lyric, mythic tales of galactic spaceways, moving from galactic south to west and spiraling through the folds of space and time back to old Earth. Always the master of science fiction poetry, Boston's poems are haunting and compelling, evoking the awe and the beauty of unbounded space in vivid hallucinogenic language." - Geoffrey A. Landis, Hugo- and Nebula-winning author, NASA scientist
