Although the stage tonight has a very British feel (well, London at least), this ceremony celebrates the worldwide appeal of science fiction. Presenting awards tonight, there are guests from Britain and America, but also Nigeria, China, Canada, and even Australia – just to mention a few of the countries as the members of this convention come from all over the globe – and our list of nomi- nees hail from around the world too. However, it is not just the geographical diversity of our field that we celebrate tonight – it’s the diversity within fandom. Although you might not like the styles of all of the nominated works and you might not choose to read all the myriad sub-genres that exist within speculative fiction, tonight they have their place as Hugo Award nominees, chosen by the community of fans. As Ray Bradbury put it, “Anything you dream is fiction, and anything you accomplish is science.

    Strange. Beautiful. Shocking. Surreal. “One of the trailblazing publishers of short-form science fiction, fantasy, and horror.” — Jason Heller, The A.V. Club Mission Statement Apex Magazine (http://www.apex-magazine.com) has been called all of these things since its inception. For more than ten years, Apex has been dazzling readers with its originality, fearlessness, and commitment to the very best. A three-time Hugo nominee, Apex Magazine is regarded as a trailblazer in the field of science fiction. A self-proclaimed mash-up of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, Apex delivers on the adage that a short story can take you to the end of the galaxy and back before dinner. The Magazine Apex has given a megaphone to some of the most unique and com- pelling voices of the past decade. Now one of the most recognizable names in the industry, Apex has become one of the standards that all others try to meet. From its hard-edged science fiction to magical realism, Apex has something to satisfy every fantastic taste. A two- time winner of the Nebula Award for Best Short Story (2014, 2015) and four-time nominee, the magazine continues to provide readers with some of the most thought-provoking and diverse fiction in the genre. Apex Magazine provides a monthly podcast for listeners to hear their favorite stories at a moment’s notice. The magazine also pub- lishes poetry, and it has had numerous pieces nominated for the Rhysling Award. Never one to play it safe, Apex’s stories blur the line between sci- ence fact and science fiction.

    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.

  • 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.
