So I wasn't planning on this, but the deluge of publication news continues on my blog, which I guess is a good thing. Rose Lemberg has posted the Table of Contents for The Moment of Change, an anthology collecting previously-published speculative poetry. I'm honored to see my poem "Self-Portrait" listed among excellent poems penned by writers whose work I adore, and I would list those names, except then I would be including over half of the TOC, so it's just easier to peruse the Table of Contents.
What makes me excited about this anthology is that Rose has searched for underrepresented voices concerned about speculative themes. She is actively debunking the stereotype of the typical science fiction writer--white-bearded straight white male who normally would never care about beauty of language. Listed in this anthology are writers who are female and/or multicultural and/or of color and/or LGBTQ and/or living with disabilities, and many other underrepresented populations. And they are true poets enamored with the beauty of words. Rose's success gives me hope in the diverse future of science fiction and fantasy.
