John C. Mannone Edited by John C. Mannone Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association 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: Aurora by Michelle Young acrylic on canvas/digital © 2019 michelleyoung.comThree-Sixty Condensed, Eaglefeather, Amelia Basic The text was set in , and Elysium,* using Adobe InDesign. © 2019 Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association sfpoetry.com All rights to poems retained by individual poets. Dwarf Stars 2019 The Best Very Short Speculative Poems Published in 2018 edited by John C. Mannone Introduction The book’s cover art is by Michelle Young, a talented visual artist, and also a singer-songwriter and a writer of poetry and fantasy fiction. The design and colors point to something cosmic, alien, yet beautiful and alluring. She says, about the multimedia artwork titled Aurora, “Utilizing acrylic and digital painting techniques, I wanted to capture the subtleties of space—the vast darkness and swirls of gasses, and far galaxies that glow like pixie lights—and to contrast them with the brightly glowing aura of a groping, exploring entity. The partially hidden planet seems to wait calmly for the strange visitor.” When my fifth great-grandchild was born prematurely at 1 lb. 1 oz, fighting for her life, Michelle kindly offered to name her artwork after this little girl, Aurora (who, after three surgeries, as of late June, is at 3.5 pounds). Thanks to everyone who made suggestions to me for this anthology. Between those suggestions and my own due diligence in sifting the literature, I’ve read over 1400 poems and skimmed many more. The resultant book includes 97 poems in English (two of which are translations from Spanish and Italian) written by 78 poets from all over the world. The geographic distribution of these poets is 63% U.S. and 37% international. A wide variety of “dwarf” poems includes monostich, distich, haiku (including the American haiku), senryu and haiku-like poems (such as scifaiku), tanka, cherita, cinquain, sevenling, limerick, hybrid poems, a Fibonacci poem, a golden shovel and free-verse poems. This anthology is not a comprehensive compendium of the best short speculative verse published in the preceding year; there were too many excellent poems that have yet to be unearthed, and many others that could not be reprinted. It is, however, a snapshot of what came into my view as editor, which hopefully embraces the beautiful breath (and breadth) of the short forms. The dynamic range of the selected poems spans from the funny to the serious to the dark. Nature may be speaking a truth that transcends nature, peeks into the human condition, or merely observes us. There is science: real, or fictive and fanciful. I like the way Billy Collins puts it in his insightful introduction to Haiku in English: The First Hundredii Years, eds. Jim Kacian (whose work is also represented here), Philip Rowland & Allan Burns (W. W. Norton & Company, 2013). I believe what he said applies to not just haiku, but to the compressed form in general. And as a physicist, I appreciate his analogy of haiku to physics: “Just as matter is composed of atoms, which give off a great energy when accelerated to the point of collision, so time is made up of moments; and when a single moment is perfectly isolated, another kind of cosmic energy is released. I like to think of the haiku as a moment-smashing device out of which arise powerful moments of dazzling awareness. But I also like to think of it as something to do while walking the dog.” Many different voices appear in this anthology. I am thankful for each one of them, and particularly thankful for all the distinguished voices: prize-winning poets, SFPA grand masters, journal editors, and the 2017–2019 U.S. Poet Laureate, Tracy K. Smith. Please enjoy. —John C.Congratulations Mannone to last year’s 2019 DwarfDwarf Stars Chair Stars and Award Editor winners! 1st Place: The Green • Kath Abela Wilson • Carrying the Branch: Poets in Search of Peace, eds.

  • 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.

  • NEW JAGUAR XE a True Jaguar Is Something That Exists to Enjoy and Indulge In, Both Aesthetically and Dynamically
    NEW JAGUAR XE A true Jaguar is something that exists to enjoy and indulge in, both aesthetically and dynamically. My inspiration when designing XE was to capture the essence of a very sporty saloon car. It had to have style, attitude, and a presence which differentiates it from any other car in its class. Both technically and visually XE is in perfect balance. IT SAYS INDIVIDUAL, IT SAYS CONFIDENT AND IT SAYS I LOVE TO DRIVE. It's lean, it's sporty, it has a great profile and a fantastic stance. For me, that's XE. IAN CALLUM DIRECTOR OF DESIGN, JAGUAR THE NEW JAGUAR XE SALOON, MEET SPORT To create a four-door saloon which is as fun to drive as a sports car is no mean feat. But the new, redefined XE comfortably meets that criteria. Inspired by F-TYPE – our high-performance car – it's packed with enhancements, innovations and technology. It rewrites the rules of how a compact saloon should behave, and it embodies everything Jaguar is famous for: stylish good looks, precision engineering and a palpable sense of excitement. 06 16 22 38 46 DESIGN PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY PRACTICALITY YOUR XE & SAFETY VEHICLES SHOWN ARE FROM THE JAGUAR GLOBAL RANGE. SPECIFICATIONS, OPTIONS AND AVAILABILITY MAY VARY BETWEEN MARKETS AND SHOULD BE VERIFIED WITH YOUR LOCAL JAGUAR RETAILER VEHICLE SHOWN: XE R-DYNAMIC HSE IN CALDERA RED WITH OPTIONAL FEATURES FITTED (MARKET DEPENDENT) DESIGN EVEN STANDING STILL, IT LOOKS FAST Like all Jaguars, XE instinctively manages to catch the eye. From its muscular stance and sculpted bonnet, to the new bumpers, front grille and LED headlights and tail lights, you can tell at a glance that this is one extraordinary sporting saloon.
