As you point out, the anthology cover is super steampunky and I love how the green man slowly revealed himself to me. Awesomeness!

The line in the poem that resonates with me is "into the oblivion of imagination I once knew". Creativity is in the heart of inventors and poets both of whom design, create, and share creations.
