fLAMBOYANT VANITY POETRY SERIES #1
blips on a screen
"Writing successful scifaiku is more difficult than it might seem and Joshua Gage does it masterfully. His award-winning background in haiku and senryu gives him the ability to transmit a lot of information in short, perfectly-formed lines, without clumsiness or obscurity. Some of these poems have a grounding in our world, which helps the reader understand and relate to the alien world described. Others convey, in awe-dropping brevity, a planet/moon/speculative situation we can believe in without experiencing it ourselves. Reading “blips on a screen” will move you and take you on a journey of discovery you will never forget."
