Birthed in the body shop,
polished by the nurse,
it rests in your arm
without movement or thought,
until you speak.
- from 'Robot Baby'
These poems were written over the course of a number of years, some sold to magazines. But it wasn't until the folks at Shoreline of Infinity, a wonderful award-winning Scottish sf magazine I have had poems in, asked if I would like to do a "Pamphlet" for them the idea for this book came about.
Turns out "Pamphlet" is what Americans call "Chapbook." Once that was sorted, I looked through my many poems, both published and unpublished to find the right poems for this small book.
