Reviews of Budget Travel Through Space and Time
“An escapist journey not to be missed.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune
“These poems are traveling poems, not only because of their
subjects…but also because they take us on journeys beyond our daily
lives. A profound collection.” —Library Journal, starred review
“Goldbarth has produced another brashly original, mind-blowing collection of poems.” —Booklist
“A riveting read….Goldbarth provides an exhilarating trip, just as the
book’s opening epigraph promises, ‘... from everlasting to
everlasting.’” —Kansas City Star
“Budget Travel Through Space and Time proves that Goldbarth is a
phenomenon akin to the phenomena he writes about…Part Discovery
Channel, part stand-up comedy routine, and wholly human, his poems are
easily recognizable as Goldbarth without being predictable, and precise
without being distant or cold.” —Third Coast
“We are the lucky recipients, transported into realms we hadn’t thought
to think of. Budget travel, yes, when for a mere fourteen dollars
you can go out so far and in so deep.” —Georgia Review
"Goldbarth is an omnivore, devouring anything he sees, hears, or reads, absorbing it, ascribing significance to it, and using it to understand contemporary experience." —Notre Dame Review
