SF Poetry (sometimes called “Speculative Poetry,” sometimes called “Science Fiction Poetry”) explores similiar themes and poses similiar “What if?” questions usually associated with science fiction and fantasy prose.
Wired Magazine has commended Boston for having “uncommon grace and clarity of vision. Boston writes with the voice of a poet, the heart of a bodhisattva, and the unblinking eye of an investigative reporter.”
