Strange Horizons Update
So... I've been bad about this. Let's see if I can make up for it by giving you a summary of the last month's worth of Strange Horizons content. These links are generally going to be in reverse-chronological order, starting with yesterday's edition.
Articles has run Greg Beatty's "Reading the Rhysling: 1979," the next in his series on speculative poetry award-winners; an interview with Karen Traviss by Cheryl Morgan; a Paul Lucas essay on the logistics of colonizing the moon; and an essay by David Higgins (aka ancientwisdom) on H. G. Wells and the Great War. Next week, we'll be running an interview with Douglas Lain.
Our Columnists have likewise been busy, with Susannah Mandel's most recent Dispatches from Planet France (the first in a two-parter); Matt Cheney's take on modern "humours"; and Stephanie V. W. Lucianovic's explorations of the "chicks" of Star Trek.
Our Art department has put up a wonderful gallery of Limor Golan Nesher's work.
Fiction has, as always been busy. They've put up "The Los Angeles Women's Auxiliary Superhero League," by Elana Frink with an illustration by Dylan Meconis; "Wayfaring Girls," by E. L. Chen; "The Flying Woman," by Meghan McCarron; and "Towers," by Leah Bobet.
Poetry has been similarly busy, with "Parchment People," by Bruce Boston; "Spot in Space," by G. O. Clark; and "Stella Rosetta," by Yoon Ha Lee. Note also that Articles secured limited reprint rights to two of the 1979 Rhysling winners in conjunct with Greg Beatty's article: "For the Lady of a Physicist (after Andrew Marvell)," by Michael Bishop, and "Fatalities," by Duane Ackerson; the third piece, "Storybooks and Treasure Maps," by Steve Eng, is still in purgatory as we attempt to contact the author.
Lastly, but surely not least, Reviews has been busier than all of us combined. This week is a "Justina Robson feature week," reviewing Silver Screen, Mappa Mundi, Natural History (live Wednesday), and Living Next-Door to the God of Love (live Thursday). Previous to that: Karl Schroeder's Lady of Mazes, V for Vendetta, Jay Lake's Rocket Science, Kevin Brockmeier's The Brief History of the Dead, Joe Hill's 20th Century Ghosts, Jeff Vandermeer's Shriek: An Afterword, Sharyn November's Firebirds Rising, Amber Benson and Christopher Golden's Ghosts of Albion: Accursed, Polder: A Festschrift for John Clute and Judith Clute, edited by Farah Mendlesohn, two views on The Complete Calvin & Hobbes, Y: The Last Man, and a look at the 2005 BSFA "Best Artwork" Award shortlist.
Of course, I managed to miss a week in there, so there's no excuse not to visit us all on your own.
