"Folk and fairy tales, Spenser and Arnold, political outrage and political pragmatism and straight-up political protest, and the doublings, audiology and lyricology, frame-making and frame-breaking, studies in felinity and essays in divinity, impedances and sometimes delightful surprises of a real poet's double vision . . . it's all here."
-Stephanie Burt, author of We Are Mermaids

Review :
"The variety of play and the juggling of structures, tone, fonts, languages, titles, epigraphs, form and content animate Space Stations. Yes, the many possible connotations of 'space' are here, too, but currently chic usages of the word are, thankfully, absent. Thankfully present, in this book, is a light touch."
-Estha Weiner, author of This Insubstantial Pageant
"Dubrow makes us wonder: Isn't all romance, love, desire, made of language? Isn't it an experience only as real as the tales we tell ourselves? Dubrow's poetic lobbies invite us into a various imaginary real estate, hers and ours-space stations on the route to other possible lives."
-D.E. Green, author of Catastrophizing in Catastrophe
