Is there any hope that the Vorkosigan books will be printed again? I would love nice copies of my favorites but all I can find are used copies in poor condition.

NESFA Press has the first 8 or so VK books in nice smallish hardcovers, still in print. You can get them (signed) from Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction Bookstore, and some through Dreamhaven Books & Comics. You may also be able to order directly from NESFA. (Which is the New England Science Fiction Association, in full.)
Uncle Hugo's also carries new copies of a lot of my older titles -- you should check their catalog. http://www.unclehugo.com/prod/ah-bujo... You can email the store to inquire about any you don't see there.
There has never been a uniform VK set apart from my indie e-volumes. (Which you can see on that poster to my left in my Goodreads PR photo.)
Amazon, I note, generally has its descriptions of used books for sale stating their condition; "Like new" is probably a useful descriptor though one is of course dependent on the reliability of the sub-vendor providing same.
In general, reprints of backlist books only happen if there is either a big new frontlist book offered expected to sell really well, to carry them in its wake, or a big media adaptation. The currents odds against both are in the "hit by a meteorite" range.

In "Komarr", Ekaterin notes that Nikki's Vorzohn's Dystrophy would make him ineligible to be a jump pilot. Miles also notes this. But when Nikki is given the retrogenes, are we to assume they were successfully assimilated, and that Nikki is going to become a jump pilot eventually?

Hey Lois. First off, praying that your surgery goes well next month! From all of us I'm sure, please stay safe! My Q is: How do you personally approach poetry? Specifically, how do you translate your experience with poetry into your writing? The 5 Gods stuff is sometimes so stunningly lyrical that I had to wonder. I'm reading Aniara by Harry Martenson and it made me think of the Cetagandans taking art to its limits.
