With something akin to spiritualist tendencies and an array of literary/artistic inspirations, Poem Rocket pursues interests across a conceptual spectrum that includes computer programming, UFOs, Native American mythology, and space travel by car. The album title Infinite Retry on Parallel Time-Out was taken from a PC’s error message programming. An entire Poem Rocket album, psychogeography, explored the concept of cities through Situationist conceptions of "psychogeography," what Guy Debord called a possible point of study: Namely, "the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organised or not, on the emotions and behaviour of individuals."

With or without an awareness of the literary-art references, Poem Rocket lyrics are a mix of poetic, philosophical, and somewhat spiritual invocations and incantations. In each song, Poem Rocket explores the formal, stochastic limits of psych-rock, noise, experimentation, and pop. Live performances often begin with soft acoustic songs performed without microphones at the edge of the stage or in the audience, but quickly increase in volume and emotional intensity. Performances are periodically characterized by strange happenings—on and off stage—which were brought on by the ritualistic breakdown of the stage/audience barrier. On certain occasions, band members disappeared from the stage's edge and strange lights would suddenly come on—or inexplicably go out.

Upon the release of 2007′s Invasion!, a New York City DJ reportedly said on the airwaves of WFMU, “These guys [Poem Rocket] would have been big in another universe.” Note, however, that older Poem Rocket recordings have been located more recently on places like Last.fm while the more recent recording, Invasion!, can be found on Pandora radio and Spotify. And according to the latest in spectroscopy and cosmology, this universe—the one that you're reading this in—is still expanding. Via the potential of expansion and congruence, that alleged "would-have-been other universe" is already interpenetrating this universe. Evidence of this merger can be found in a number of locales very close to where you are right now.
