The Last Robot and other Science Fiction Poems was awarded the Elgin prize for best Chapbook in 2023. The Elgin prize is awarded by the Science Fiction & Poetry Association.
Birthed in the body shop, polished by the nurse, it rests in your armThese 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 Once that was sorted, I looked through my many poems, both published and unpublished to find the right poems for this small book.
