"The Mayans probably didn't realize the effect their calendar would have on the lives of the young, sloshed, and romantic in the Oreo dinners and self-help Google searches and underheated apartments of 2012. But the poems in Diana Salier's Letters From Robots will drunk text you all their love no matter how fucked up the world ends. These poems know that sometimes all we want is someone to help us with our oxygen mask before putting on her own. They know that astronaut dreams crash land into astronaut ice cream. There are many beautiful things, but Letters From Robots is one of them."
- Mike Young // author of Look! Look! Feathers
"Robots don't have emotions, but these poems do. Salier is able to bring to life the sad, cold moments of loneliness and turn them into weird, apocalyptic (sometimes funny) scenes. An inventive and fresh new voice in American poetry."
- Kevin Sampsell // author of A Common Pornography
"Diana's poems, though they are often about the static of everyday life, are written with crystalline clarity. The surfaces of her poems obscure nothing. I love this book because it offers its hilarious, heart-wrecked, charming self completely, without reservation."

"wikipedia says it will pass is immediately now, right when you want it... This is a chapbook that both mocks and celebrates the Facebook mini-generation. Salier's confessional narrator is most affecting when we see the disconnection of this very connected 'immediately now, right when you want it' mini-generation."
