Reviews

Surely each of us feels like an alien from time to time, fallen into a world that can't possibly be our own. And who hasn't looked from time to time at a lover and thought, "We might as well be from different planets"? In this slyly ironic, unexpectedly moving sequence of poems, Benjamin Grossberg takes these metaphors as grounds for aching, comic meditation on what it is to be self and other in this space "we/cross and cross in unmarried vastness." Space Traveler is an engaging, memorable delight. MARK DOTY

This book clearly establishes Benjamin Grossberg as one of our most original and consistently interesting poets. The poems in Space Traveler are mature, accomplished, and--forgive me--simply out of this world! MAGGIE ANDERSON

Reading [Space Traveler] is rather like sitting on the couch with an interesting, articulate friend, listening to his stories and musings on life--that is, if he were also a smart, funny, gay space alien who had landed in your backyard. KALI LIGHTFOOT, Broadsided

The conflation of vastness and restrained language creates an emotional appeal that will gnaw at the reader for days. CHELSEA KERWIN, Mid-American Review

Space Traveler is a knockout for Grossberg, who has busted out of his shell into a mature, outgoing poet-thinker. ANDREA SYZDEK, Moon City Review
