2015 Rhysling Proof Copy Received

It���s that season again, with the Science Fiction Poetry Association���s new RHYSLING ANTHOLOGY (cf. November 4, April 12 2014, et al.) going into final preparation, and so Sunday night the official proof of my poem was received.�� This is the annual sent to members for voting on the best short (50 lines or fewer) and long poems of 2014 and, yes, as in recent years I have one poem nominated in the short poetry section.�� This year it���s for the werewolves, ���Beware of the Dog,��� a sort of working class view of the creatures and how to cope with them, published in the British e-zine GRIEVOUS ANGEL for September 11 2014 (see also this blog including, with luck*, a link to the poem itself).�� Also as in recent years the poem probably will not win, but if it does — and, indeed, simply when the anthology itself is obtained — you can be sure it will be announced here.

For a preview of sorts of the Rhyslings, a list of all poems nominated this year can be found on the SFPA site by pressing here.
