SFPA Double Header Received Tuesday P.M.
Visiting my mailbox this afternoon was the waited for package from th
e Science Fiction Poetry Association containing not just the latest STAR*LINE but, with it, this year’s DWARF STARS 2014. The latter is the anthology of nominees for best ultra-short poem published last year, of ten lines or fewer, for which I have one entry originally published in NIGHT TO DAWN called “The Werewolf Explains” (cf. July 12, June 27). Then the former, the quarterly journal of the Science Fiction Poetry Association, is also graced with one poem of mine in it, also a small one of ten lines or fewer, called “Sign Me Up As Well, Quickly” (see June 1 ).
As for what they’re about, well, the werewolf one is sort of self-explanatory, that is after all what the title says, but the poem being only two lines
long anything added would be a spoiler. The STAR*LINE one is longer, though, a full three lines in length, and is sort of vampiry with implications of American ingenuity and, if only for the moment, the triumph of capitalism.
For more information on STAR*LINE, DWARF STARS, or the SFPA, one can press here.
