Russell Jones’ Spaces of Their Own is a much more outré affair. There are elements of the playfulness of Edwin Morgan’s space and concrete poems ... on a few occasions I was convinced this was more than outer-space fun and games.

This little chap book of 12 SF poems is a gem ... astonishing variety ... crazy, difficult and wonderful concepts

Russell Jones takes the reader on a journey through computer technology, shaped poetry and a creative logic of tomorrow. A specialist genre expressed brilliantly.

It’s no surprise that
the mind who could craft such a fine collection [Where Rockets Burn Through]
could also do so well with SF poems of his own ... a take-your-breath-away
quality of very fine poems
John Johnson, Star*Line Read the review
Jones writes about Science Fiction as other people write about love, loss or flowers, confident that these are genuinely inspirational topics ... there is much wit and insight into the human condition
Andy Jackson, Dundee University Review of Arts Read the review
An elegant, even beautiful simplicity that permits emotion without ever losing control or restraint of its expression

Weird, engaging, challenging.

Surprising and
welcoming ... at times delicate and soft like a tissue, at times rougher and
coarser like a good old hemp cloth
