desayunoencama | Poem in SPACE & TIME/Rhysling awards and eligible poems

I have a poem, "How to Become a Vampire," in the new issue of SPACE & TIME, which should be shipping by the end of the month.

You can see the full ToC is here.

I don't think I published any original poetry in 2007, except, of course, for the majority of the poems in FAIRY TALES FOR WRITERS.

The Rhysling Awards for Best SF Poetry are currently open for nominations. Anyone who is a member of the SFPA can nominate. (And if you're interested in SF poetry, I would urge you to join, whether or not you nominate or vote for something of mine. Poetry gets short shrift in the genre, so the more people involved the better.)

A number of SFPA members have listed their eligible poems.

You can see some of my eligible poems at either the A Midsummer Night's Website (which excepts "Fairy Tales for Writers: The Little Mermaid") or the Mythic Journeys website (which excerpts "Fairy Tales for Writers: The Princess and the Pea").

I'm especially fond of "Fairy Tales for Writers: Little Red Riding Hood" and "Fairy Tales for Writers: Jack the Giant Killer" but each reader will have her or his own favorites.

The only poem from FAIRY TALES FOR WRITERS which is not eligible is "Fairy Tales for Writers: Sleeping Beauty" which had previously appeared in the Bulletin of the Society of Children's Book Writers and illustrators.

Any SFPA member who'd like to consider poems from the book can email me and I'll send them the poems via email.
