Praise
Robin Wyatt Dunn has written a powerful work that speaks to our times.
A love poem disguised as a hate poem. In a maelstrom of rage against the collective madness of our species, love still proves to be the most powerful force in the universe.
The word “quirky” might have been invented to describe Robin Dunn’s writing. His long poem, Science Fiction, fearlessly incorporates a vast variety of poetic forms, styles, and voices.

Science Fiction: A Poem! is a book-length poem. The unreliable narrator lashes out against aliens, America, and what Martin Ott called "closer enemies of the mind and heart," a list that doubles as the poem's catalogue of grief. It is not science fiction in the genre sense. The register shifts constantly across its lines: lament, accusation, joke, prayer, tirade. Ott read it as "a love poem disguised as a hate poem," and that reading is the right one to start from. The variation is the method, not a side effect of it. The engine is rhythm rather than narrative, and what recurs is voice.
