The Heartbeat of the Universe: Poems from Asimov’s Science Fiction and Analog Science Fiction and Fact 2012–2022 Reviews

4.0
“The Heartbeat of the universe is a collection of poems by different authors From the genre of science fiction and expeculative poetry. To this day, I thought I didn't like poetry, but I discovered that what I don't like is romantic poetry and until I read this anthology I thought that was the only kind of poetry that existed. There's no way I can leave a review of each of the poems, it would be too long”
“This collection of poems is described as poems from Asimov's science fiction and analog science fiction and fact 2012-2022. Dozens of poems from various authors are coated under 5 themes: the sum of broken parts; impressions of time; entangled particles; dispatches; and off the map. I am a bit of of poetry novice, but as with any anthology some poems resonate much more than others. The sci-fi and science umbrella is what drew me to this work. Thank you to Interstellar Flight Press for sharing a copy to review. All opinions are my own.”
“A wonderfully beautiful and thought-provoking collection of poems that centres around science fiction, tales of the future, AI, the body, and many more! This was such a great read that any fan of poetry or sci-fi will appreciate. There is truly a poem for everyone in this collection. This book consists of poems written in many different forms and styles, from long to short, ones that tell us a story and others that will leave you with existential dread. I would love to receive this as a gift and will definitely be gifting it forward! I had two absolutely favourites from this collection! 'Taxi Ride' by Ian Goh is a heartbreaking poem discussing the impact of a disaster on a town with the most beautiful of imagery. 'Somebody I used to love asks me who Marie Curie is' by Carly Rubin, which discusses Marie Curie and how important of a figure she is and should remain to be. Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publishers for this wonderful ARC in exchange for an honest review.”
