1. “Convergent Etymology" by Julia Sinclair in Eye to the Telescope @sfpoetry.bsky.social Imagines how language is formed by the physical bodies that express themselves with it. Precise, vivid language and evocative imagery. Somehow only 10 lines (?!) eyetothetelescope.com/archives/061...

Eye to the Telescope

Eye to the Telescope, the quarterly online journal of SFPA, the Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association, an international organization of speculative poets.

Excited update from the poetry front: my poem "Autumn Heart Valley" is in the new issue of Star*Line from @sfpoetry.bsky.social :-) For the curious - the poem is part of "The Sign of the Cat," the midquel to "The Sign of the Dragon" that I've been working on - Xau, Leong, Gan, and Li are in it :-)

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of our own, Science Fiction Poetry Association Grandmaster, David Kopaska-Merkel. What a profound loss. Our hearts go out to his friends and family.

David was lovely - he published me in my early career, and I always enjoyed reading his work in the various @sfpoetry.bsky.social anthologies and magazine.

Very sorry to hear about the recent death of geologist and poet David C. Kopaska-Merkel. For those who don't know, David published, at his own expense, the long running DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES, which focused on speculative poetry. Well, I should say CELEBRATE speculative poetry.
