had to include the first poem to win a hugo award!
💜
Thank you for attending, Jamie!
Enjoyed attending a poetry workshop this weekend taught by Strange Horizons Poetry Editor @vanessajae.bsky.social.
Some of the great spec poets we read: Zaynab Iliyasu Bobi, Marcus Whalbring, Massimo Mitolo, @angelaliu.bsky.social and @swantower.bsky.social.

because I keep forgetting to mention it: LITERALLY ANYONE can nominate books for this prize! yes! that means you! you have until march 31st!
binged the series last week, absolutely hilarious. even if posthumous, I'm glad she won.
Completely understandable, thank you for your work :)
Incredibly sad to see @cypayseur.bsky.social and with him, his poetry reviews go from Locus Magazine.
Most reviewers completely ignore the poetry in issues they write about and I'll miss being able to tell my Strange Horizons poets their poem was mentioned in such a big publication.

SFPA members, there’s still time to nominate your favorite poems of 2025 for the Rhysling Awards! Nominations close February 15, so get yours in today!
can't believe no one told me (paperback fangirl) they got rid of the mass market paperback
usually we get around 350 submissions a month I'd say
let's see if I'll be done reading by the end of the year 😅
interesting theory 🤔 I didn't pay attention to that, but I feel like we didn't get that many poems the other times we were open for fiction
BURY HER.
(not really. we're open to subs year-round. you can send when you're ready. but that includes now, if you're ready now.)
I got 500+ submissions (potentially 3000+ poems) already, might as well add more

New collaboration between The Submission Grinder and @dreamfoundry.bsky.social : The Dream Foundry Market Report, a monthly report of speculative fiction/poetry publication updates

Remember, since awards season means Rhyslings as well as the Poetry Nebulas and Hugos too:
if you loved a speculative poem in the last year, shout it out loud! Remind people that a wealth of specpo is available online to read for free! Your appreciation helps others' discovery more than you know.
With the Nebula and BSFA nominations open, I’d be honored if you’d consider my novelette, “We Begin Where Infinity Ends,” published in @clarkesworldmagazine.com. It's a story of friendship, love, and fireflies✨🪲

can't wait to read it!
hi poets, I'm taking poetry submissions over at Strange Horizons this month
strangehorizons.com/submit/poetry-submission-guidelines
We're putting together a mailing list for short fiction reviewers and critics to get review copies of the magazine.
So if you're a short fiction reviewer - first off you're doing the lord's work - but also email me at jonny@seizethepress.com and I'll add you to our shiny new reviewers list.
Day 6 of #12DaysOfPoetry coincides with New Hearing Device day for me. To that end, I offer “Worlds I Didn’t Hear,” which bowed last year at @strangehorizons.bsky.social.
There’s probably a whole collection here somewhere. 🤔
the photo you took of this is so cool I thought you're showing off your photography 😮 the color composition!!

couldn't think of the word "em-dashes" and called them "thinking stripes" instead 😔
Thank you to everyone who's shared & donated for their generosity. Support has slowed a lot, & Archita would be very grateful if you could help her reach her goal and some semblance of security in this terrible time.
this year I became a full-blown novella guy
