I am guest author for the Writer's Craft column at the Clarion Blog today on the topic of "What makes a poem SF/Fantasy?" My charge from editor Lynda Williams was to write a short, 200-word introduction to the topic with a concluding question to stimulate discussion. I'm delighted for the invitation to address this theme outside of the usual speculative poetry avenues.
