Flights From The Iron Moon “I have made a heap of all I have found.” Nennius, Historia Britoniun ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Although the majority of information for this ‘gazetteer’ has come from the author’s own collection of 1980s publications, correspondence and other files, that is not the whole story. Many of the people concerned were approached for further information or clarification on a variety of matters, too many to name individually. I hope they will accept this general acknowledgement of my gratitude for their help and cooperation, which I greatly appreciate. Naturally, responsibility for any and all errors and omissions remains my own. In that respect, while every care has been taken to quote accurately, to avoid distortion when summarising or extracting from publications or correspondence, to make dates as precise as possible, and so on, it would be naive not to expect Byrne’s Law to apply - ie that further information always turns up immediately after any factual statement is published. In that respect, response from readers of this publication correcting errors and in-filling omissions will be most welcome, and would, of course, be duly acknowledged in the event of any future editions. Steve Sneyd Hilltop Press 4 Nowell Place, Almondbury, Near Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, HD5 8PB England NOTES Readers wishing to pursue the story of genre poetry’s use in British fanzines further back may be interested to know that an account covering the period 1938 to the mid 1950s appeared in CRITICAL WAVE #16 (May 1990) under the title Rhyme Bandits - The Frontier Years of SF Poetry, and the story from 1969 to 1979 was covered in two further articles, also in CRITICAL WAVE (Return of The Rhyme Bandits in #27 (November 1992) and The Rhyme Bandits Last Stand in #29 (February 1993) - all articles by Steve Sneyd). These were later reprinted in expanded form, with annotated bibliographies detailing the poetry in individual fanzines, in two Hilltop Press publications, both still in print, Laying Siege To Tomorrow, covering the 1930s to 1950s (1998) and In Space's Belly, covering the 1970s (1999). An additional publication, Entropies And Alignments (1998) covered the 1960s, while an anthology of British SF poetry selected from fanzines and little magazines up to the end of 1 Flights From The Iron Moon the 1980s, edited by Steve Sneyd, Dreamers On The Sea Of Fate (1999), which appeared from Sol Publications, is also still in print. More general accounts of fanzines in this country from the 1930s onwards can be found in Rob Hansen’s decade-by-decade histories of fandom – the THEN series of volumes. ALSO:- Use of symbol (....) indicates that sections of a poem quoted are separated by several lines or in some cases stanzas. In including such quotes and extracts, the author and publisher have endeavoured to adhere closely to the ‘fair use’ provisions of copyright requirements. Any breach which may possibly have occurred, particularly in the case of very short poems, is entirely inadvertent and in no way intended to infringe the rights of copyright holders concerned. The Abbreviation IHNFI = I Have No Further Information. Where further information, obtained since the 1995 print edition of this book, has been added, the source is indicated by bracketed name abbreviations as follows: AVC = the late A. Vincent (Vin¢) Clarke CC = Cardinal Cox SG = Steve Green JFH = John Francis Haines JH = John Howard SJ = Steve Jeffery DL = Dave Langford In regard to two exclusions – namely FANTASY TALES and FISHEYE – I have erred on the side of the fact that the former can only really be classed as a prozine, and while the latter did have SFnal contacts, the poetry was very much ‘mainstream’.
