For novices coffee plants won't grow colonization efforts Huddle in the Antarctic dark abandoned with emperor penguins for sixty-four days. —Lauren McBride Irrigate Mars (canals preferred). Memorize the first ten thousand primes. • 2. For journeymen Endow peahens with plumage eclipsing that of peacocks. Circumnavigate the Moon by hot-air balloon (add appropriate atmosphere in advance). Prove the Riemann hypothesis. • 3. For advanced practitioners Travel to 17th-century Mauritius to retrieve dodos. Rearrange the rings of Saturn. Make π rational. —Mary Soon Lee Lies the Tree Told by Christina Sng Star*Line 4 Winter 2019 Dragons & Rayguns Happy New Earth-Orbit, Terrans and other sentient beings, terrestrial and extraterrestrial! As always, we offer you the proverbial veritable feast of speculative poetry, reviews, articles, art, and news. Again in this issue, as we had throughout the 2018 volume year, the SFPA’s 40th anniversary celebration year, we have cover art created by a poet: Robert Frazier, SFPA Grandmaster and former editor of this magazine. I hope you enjoy this issue, dear friends in specpo, and I wish you all—bilateral and asymmetrical—the best poetry year ever! —Vince Gotera, Star*Line Editor A Deity Goes Too Far time machine testing begins People just didn’t get the hint, auto return enabled Yahweh wasn’t getting thru, time machine testing begins 12 not enough? The 13th plague, —Lauren McBride Dwarf hippopotami, would do the trick. No? How about No. 14: Mixed velociraptors and tyrannosaurs? (If the right one don’t get you epilogue The left one will) If the survivors STILL won’t how the whole hill shakes Obey the commandments, to the thrum Another flood, of chitinous wings . But this time from below: if you were with me now Molten rock, 1000 °C. I’d dance along How does it feel? Feeling the love and obedience yet? —Brittany Hause Hello? Hello? —David C. Kopaska-Merkel Star*Line 5 Winter 2019 Mothra At a cost of several billion dollars, and conceived as the ultimate bioweapon, able, like Lorenz’s butterfly, to fan up enormous hurricane winds, but released under cover of darkness from its aircraft-hangered chrysalis (within the silver threads of which germline edits have reworked its trachea and exoskeleton), then directed via alarm pheromones to attack our hostile foe, only to see it err off-course, taking a skyward route, winging its way toward the rising bulb of the full moon. Perhaps, after all, we should have gone with the giant fire-breathing lizard prototype. —Robert Borski The Fairy T.A.Z. The nihilist Unseelie fairies live in a Trans-Temporal Autonomous Zone. It’s a pop-up rave, held outside of space-time, a party that bubbles up between midnight and eternity—a never-ending revel, outrunning the dawn. Indolent aristocrats, they fornicate with each other and their change- lings in every position, drink the greenest absinthe and then hallucinate us. We sometimes hear them carousing, though we are but their dreams. The Unseelie light bonfires that burn so brightly they incinerate the edges of reality, creating sparks of anomalous experiences, déjà vu moments, and fugue states. They party so hard, they create more of the dark energy of the universe, an ebony tidal wave accelerating the collapse of the cosmos. As the last atoms rip apart, the Unseelie celebrate the Void. —Lorraine Schein Star*Line 6 Winter 2019 SFPA Announcements SFPA Treasurer Election Voting is open January 15–March 15 for SFPA Treasurer.

Her exoskeleton, like a beetle’s carapace or a knight’s armour. She is made for war and all mankind’s harrowing dreams, one among a thousand dark sisters of no-name.

    Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association Edited by Deborah P Kolodji The Dwarf Stars anthology is a selection of the best speculative poems of ten lines or fewer (100 words or fewer for prose poems) from the previous year, nominated by the Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association membership and chosen for publication by the editors. From this anthology, SFPA members vote for the best poem. The winner receives the Dwarf Stars Award, which is analogous to the SFPA Rhysling Awards given annually for poems of any length. 1 Cover: Ritual by Steven Vincent Johnson acrylic on board © 1978 sjvart.orionworks.com The text was set in Agenda, ITC Busorama BT, Caflisch Script, and Cantoria MT. using Adobe InDesign. * © 2018 Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association sfpoetry.com All rights to poems retained by individual poets. Dwarf Stars 2018 The Best Very Short Speculative Poems Published in 2017 edited by Deborah P Kolodji Introduction THE SHORT OF IT As the Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association celebrates its 40th Anniversary, I feel honored to return to my original (2006) role as the Dwarf Stars editor. An unofficial “demonstration” Dwarf Stars chapbook in 2005 was used to try to convince the membership to create a short-short Rhysling Award category. My position then and now is that a very short poem is read differently than a longer poem, and it is difficult to compare a haiku to a 49-line narrative poem. A haiku’s beauty lies in what is not being said; the reader sits with the poem and allows it to resonate. A longer narrative poem is experienced more like a story, the poem leading the reader on an adventure through its detailed imagery.

  • Philosophers' Science Fiction / Speculative Fiction
    Philosophers’ Science Fiction / Speculative Fiction Recommendations, Organized by Author / Director November 3, 2014 Eric Schwitzgebel In September and October, 2014, I gathered recommendations of “philosophically interesting” science fiction – or “speculative fiction” (SF), more broadly construed – from thirty-four professional philosophers and from two prominent SF authors with graduate training in philosophy. Each contributor recommended ten works of speculative fiction and wrote a brief “pitch” gesturing toward the interest of the work. Below is the list of recommendations, arranged to highlight the authors and film directors or TV shows who were most often recommended by the list contributors. I have divided the list into (A.) novels, short stories, and other printed media, vs (B.) movies, TV shows, and other non- printed media. Within each category, works are listed by author or director/show, in order of how many different contributors recommended that author or director, and then by chronological order of works for authors and directors/shows with multiple listed works. For works recommended more than once, I have included each contributor’s pitch on a separate line. The most recommended authors were: Recommended by 11 contributors: Ursula K. Le Guin Recommended by 8: Philip K. Dick Recommended by 7: Ted Chiang Greg Egan Recommended by 5: Isaac Asimov Robert A. Heinlein China Miéville Charles Stross Recommended by 4: Jorge Luis Borges Ray Bradbury P. D. James Neal Stephenson Recommended by 3: Edwin Abbott Douglas Adams Margaret

  • Speculative Poetry Reading and Writing Workshop
    Rochester Speculative Literature Association, Inc. Speculative Poetry Reading and Writing Workshop by Alan Vincent Michaels What is Speculative Poetry? Speculative fiction poetry is a subgenre of poetry primarily focused on fantastical, science fictional, and mythological themes. Although speculative poetry is defined by its subject matter, the form selected can play a significant role in shaping the meaning, tone, and quality of the poem. Suzette Haden Elgin, founder of the Science Fiction Poetry Association, defined the subgenre as “about a reality that is in some way different from the existing reality.” Elizabeth Barrette opens her 2008 essay, Appreciating Speculative Poetry, with: When most people hear “science fiction,” they think of fiction and not poetry. Fantasy and horror have a less exclusive phrasing, but still, genre readers are more inclined to forget about poetry. It remains, however, a vital part of speculative literature. A genre is defined more by focus than by form. The speculative field—in all its myriad subdivisions—bases itself on the prime question, “What if?” Speculative poetry is simply exploration of “What if?” in verse. (source: The Internet Review of Science Fiction http://www.irosf.com/q/zine/article/10426) Comparing Poetry and Prose Poetry and prose are two sides of the same speculative literary coin. They are the methods by which speculative ideas are conveyed from the writer's mind to her readers. Although poetry and fiction are related through their subject matter, their forms are indeed different. As Elizabeth Barrette describes in Appreciating Speculative Poetry: • Poetry is more concise than fiction • Poetry is more memorable than prose • Poetry is bound by different rules than fiction • Poetry is intended to call attention to language • Poetry is more suited to describing the indescribable (source: The Internet Review of Science Fiction http://www.irosf.com/q/zine/article/10426) Speculative fiction poetry, contrary to what you may think, is not just genre fiction told in verse.

"It's a real race this time," Mandella said of the mile, $400,000 event—prior to 2016, the Vanity was run at 1 1/8 miles, and prior to 1987 it was 1 1/4 miles at Hollywood Park. That’s not to say the 6-year-old daughter of Henny Hughes hasn't proven herself to be a top racemare in the country—it's just that she's largely been unchal- lenged.
