My short poem “Love in the Time of Alien Invasion” and my long poem “Tender Aliens”—both originally published in The Magazine of Speculative Poetry in Spring 2011—have just been nominated for the 2012 Rhysling Poetry Awards in their respective categories. This is a tremendous honour, given that the Rhyslings are awarded by my peers, other speculative poets (or science fiction poets, if you prefer the old skool terminology). I’m pretty excited about it!
