I’ve got a poem in here: “Death Opus” is nominated for a Rhysling Award in the long poem category. So are several poems which I didn’t write, but did publish as an editor at Strange Horizons.

The Rhysling is the most prestigious award for speculative poetry, and some years the only award, although that’s changing. You can’t tell from my photo how thick this book of nominated poems is; it’s substantial. And the quality of the poems nominated is high. I’d say the state of speculative poetry is strong, particularly compared to when I entered the field. I take some pride in my role helping make that happen.

I’m never wholly comfortable bragging about my nominations for awards I don’t expect to win, even though I’ll get starry-eyed over other peoples noms. Double standard, I guess. In the last few months, I’ve also reached (and stopped at) the semifinalist rounds for:

The National Music Theater Conference at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center  (as the librettist of The Lady Takes the Mic)

The National Alliance for Musical Theater’s Festival of New Musicals (as the librettist of The Lady Takes the Mic)

The NYX Horror Collective’s Stowe Story Labs fellowship (as the screenwriter of the monster movie Radiance)

I’m proud to be at a level where I’m going up against the best. But also, oof. It sure would be nice to find a little pond to be a big fish in. I’ve heard about those. Still haven’t run across one.

The Nashville Scene's Betsy Phillips interviewed me about my 2012 Rhysling nominations.  Check it out if you want the inside scoop from me on the Devil, murderous AIs, dissing Ezra Pound, and what I've got coming up in the near future poetry-wise.
