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. -
