Foreword Reviews: Praise for My Cruel Invention

We were so thrilled to see My Cruel Invention reviewed by Matt Sutherland in the Spring Issue of Foreword Reviews! The review is now online as well and includes “A Fable (from the Journal of Chemical Ecology)” by J.G. McClure, one of the many outstanding poems from the collection. Full Review

It’s true, the mother of invention might scoff at this delightful collection as being wholly unnecessary, but the rest of us will only marvel at the sixty-two poems focused on inventors and inventions.

Best Anthology - "This is a wonderful array of imaginers telling their wild secrets and what they believe possible." -- Grace Cavalieri, Washington Independent Review of Books, December Exemplars

"The poems in this anthology converse not only with each other, but also with their readers and the world at large, in service to the continued human drive to create solutions—even to problems we didn’t know we had." —Bernadette Geyer, Editor
