Rhysling Eligible Poems

The nomination period for the Rhysling Award is open from January 1 through February 8. I'm posting a list of some of my poems that were first published in 2007 and thus eligible for the Rhysling, in case you want to track them down and read them. I'm also encouraging other speculative poets to post their lists -- either as replies to this post or elsewhere with a link posted here. If your poems are available online, please link them so people can read them. I'm hoping to find some great new poems to read this way, so I can consider them when I make my nominations.


“Noplace Like Home”
Strange Horizons January 1, 2007 issue

“The Night Mare Song”
Sorcerous Signals #1 February-March-April 2007

"Calligraphy in Silk"

“Her Sheltering Wings”
The Lorelei Signal April/May/June 2007

“The Scorpion Ankh”

“Heaven Spent”

Star*Line 30.6 Nov/Dec. 2007

“An Alphabetic Bestiary”
A Wizard’s Bestiary 12/3/07

“His Mortal Mistress”
Star*Line 30.5 Sept/Oct. 2007

“Chance Process”
“Falling Angel, Rising Ape”

Noneuclidean Café Vol. 3, Iss. 1, Fall 2007


That’s a good year’s work, and I’m pleased with all of them. I think my favorites are “One Ship Tall,” “Falling Angel, Rising Ape,” and “Pearls Before Swine.”

And then there's one more:
"An Alien Ate My SF Poem"
Abyss & Apex
It's a 0-line poem. As the description explains, I got the idea from an article discussing the Rhysling Award, which cited the "Short Poem" category at 0-49 lines. So of course I had to try my hand at writing 0-line poetry. Unfortunately this year's nomination rules say 1-10 lines, so it's not eligible. *headdesk*
