Tidbits: Apex Magazine Issue 27 and "Wrap Is Poetry" Speculative Poetry Jewelry Collection
A few tidbits from around the world of speculative poetry:
Apex Magazine Issue 27 is out! In addition to fiction by Zach Lynott, Rabbit Seagraves and Lavie Tidhar, the issue features Saladin Ahmed's (saladinahmed)'s poem "The Djinn Prince in America: A Micropic in 9 Tracks" and Elizabeth R. McClellan's (popelizbet) "Down Cycles."
SFPA member, editor and poetry lover Ashley "Full Stop" Brown (thegreenyear) has paired up with Rhysling-winning poets Amal El-Mohtar (tithenai) and Catherynne M. Valente (yuki_onna) as part of her "Wrap is Poetry" jewelry collection. The collection draws its inspiration and its titles from these poets' speculative work, as well as other music and poetry of the fantastic. Selections from Valente's Rhysling-nominated "Red Engines" and El-Mohtar's winning poem "Peach-Creamed Honey" form the titles of two of Ms. Brown's newest Wrap is Poetry collections. Purchasers of pieces titled after Valente's "Red Engines" receive a copy of the poem with their purchase.
Wrap is Poetry also includes collections titled after selections from my poem "The Walking Man Goes Looking for the Sons of John: Six Cantos" from the May 2011 issue of Apex Magazine, and selected lyrics from musicians Bekah Kelso and S.J. Tucker. This is an awesome celebration of speculative poetry and the interstitial arts; I encourage you all to check it out! Links under the cut.
