Halloween poetry reading

Numerous members of the Science Fiction Poetry Association have come together to scare the heck out of you again this year. Audio files of poets (in some cases, other people) reading their work ,and spooky photographs. This is been going on for years, and all entries from previous years are still right there on the site, along with the new ones. Enjoy!

submissions and so on

ETTT is an ezine published by the SF Poetry Assn. The call for submissions for the next issue is out (theme: immigration) & I sent a couple. Reprints are welcome, but I didn't have any that were suitable. I will be reading a few from my last book (The Edible Zoo) & my next book (Luminous Worlds) at the Unitarian church Sunday. I'm going to try to get the kids to help me with "Monkey Stew." Interactive presentations are not my thing, but this poem really needs that. I submitted a few other poems here & there, mostly 6 lines or shorter. And I'm working on a short story, but it's stalled.

Advertisers' Opportunity

For the sixth year running, SFPA members will be reading some of their creepiest and scariest poetry online. The audio files are accompanied by evocative and disturbing artwork. The webpage goes live in mid-October. Poems and artwork remain on the webpage until the following year, at which point they are permanently archived.

We are now offering the opportunity for publishers of books and periodicals that highlight dark poetry, and authors of such publications, to advertise their publications on the Halloween poetry-reading webpage. Here is a link to the Halloween webpage from last year and a link to our advertising rates.
