“fluttering amidst the stars / stands the thin black/ stalk / of a glimmerglass girl /”
― Glimmerglass Girl
― Glimmerglass Girl
“Author M A Noordermeer has written a book like none I've ever read before, and this cerebral, high-concept sci-fi tale is told with a human heart and philosophical edge, almost like a morality tale for the modern age. A highly recommended and impressive sci-fi work for fans of smart, urgent, and imaginative writing.”
