    About this ebook

    My fictional reading is heavily weighted toward science-fiction. I generally try to avoid poetry, but this said it was about science fiction. It wasn't very expensive, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I've read some of this author's previous work and I was able to see how the writing has matured since then. These poems are more like micro stories; flash fiction of the sci-fi genre, if you will. They read fast and are great to read for a couple minute breaks throughout the day. Some of the poems were funny, and some were touching. Space was a huge theme (duh) and the technical jargon did not overrun or dilute the writing, IMO. It's definitely worth checking out.

    Sometimes I'll play Russian Roulette and just choose a random read since I'm such a creature of habit in my reading pickings. Out of This World Sci-Fi Poetry is what I selected. I was a bit skeptical at first because I have never been fond of poetry but since its' content was sci-fi, I thought I'd give it a chance. I'm glad I did! I've never read poetry of this genre before. It is nothing like the stereo-typical poetry I was forced to read through college. I give the author a thumbs up for this one!

    Joe DiBuduo

    Like the hero of Cryonic Man, author Joe DiBuduo grew up in Hano, one of the toughest neighborhoods in Boston. He became a writer and an artist, not a prizefighter, but in his rough-and-tumble youth, he never turned away from a street fight.DiBuduo is also the author of a second mixed genre paranormal novel, The Mountain Will Cover You (JD Books, 2016); a second volume of connected short fiction, Story Time Karaoke @ The Chicagoua Cafe (JD Books, 2016); a historically relevant memoir, Crime A Day: Death by Electric Chair & Other Boyhood Pursuits (Jaded Ibis Press, 2016), and a popular narrative nonfiction book, A Penis Manologue: One Man’s Response to The Vagina Monologues (JD Books, 2009, 2013). His publication credits include four collections of flash fiction and a collection of his signature “poetic flash fiction;” a collection of sci-fi poetry and a children's storybook. Jis poetry and short stories for children and adults also appear in online journals and in print anthologies. For more info about DiBuduo's work, see joedibuduo.com.

      1—Space Travel

      One hundred and forty nine years ago I lay me down to sleep.  Awake now, my veins burn my brain,  malfunctions, and my kidneys scream.

      Repairs will automatically be made when Robo flips the flushing switch. He has been awake all these years, watching over us.

      His program tells when I awake, to drain the fluid before I drown. His wheeled feet roll him to my

      fluid filled capsule, and he says,

      Rip Van Winkle didn't need any help, why do you? What has Robo been doing all these years? Instinctively I know, reading outlawed books.

      The preservation system automatically  shuts off when I awake, but the switch to drain must be stuck  I start to drown. 

      Robo can't smile but he does.

      He says in monotone speech, You have  to die, but don't worry, I'll carry on the race. It's then I see her, my mate, my love, her and I were to populate a planet. 

      But now I see she has been awakened  Long before me, and has borne three children. 

      Not one of them looks like me. Why they even

      have wheels for feet. Just like their father

      who is about to pull my plug.
