Dwarf Stars--Anyone can nominate any speculative poems first published in 2021 that are up to 10 lines long. SFPA members vote for the best. See link at the bottom for how to join.

Hello, everyone! Just a reminder that our nomination period is opening soon for Dwarf Stars. Please tell all your writing friends! In a nutshell, anyone may suggest anyone's poem--no need to be a member--err on the side of "yes, it's speculative"--& the editors will seek permission to reprint, so please include the poet's/editor's contact info if known.

We would certainly appreciate your help getting the word out.

Kindest regards,
Adele Gardner & Greer Woodward
Dwarf Stars Editors

2022 DWARF STARS ANTHOLOGY SUBMISSIONS

From April 1-May 1, submissions open for the 2022 Dwarf Stars Anthology, from which the best short speculative poem published in 2021 is selected. Anyone may submit their own poems or those of others; there is no limit to how many poems you may submit for the anthology, but poems are selected for inclusion by the editors. Only members of the Science Fiction Poetry Association may vote for the award. Open to all genres of speculative poetry, including science fiction, fantasy, horror, magical realism, the mythic & legendary, and “unclassifiable but speculative.” Poems must be no more than 10 lines (or no more than 100 words for a prose poem), not including title or stanza breaks, and first published in 2021; please include publication details and how to get in touch with the poet and editor, if known.
