My poem “Witch,” first published in Polu Texni, has been nominated for this year’s Rhysling Award 🙂 🙂

I had two poems accepted by Star*Line, bringing me up to 50 (!) acceptances from them.

Two poetry acceptances to report: “How to Destroy a Dragon” has been accepted by Songs of Eretz Poetry Review, and, to my great happiness, “First Contact” has been accepted by Fantasy & Science Fiction 🙂

My poem “How to Go Twelfth” is in the March/April 2020 issue of Analog — my second poem about Valentina Tereshkova to appear there!

My poem “To Skeptics,” first published in Fantasy & Science Fiction, has been nominated for this year’s Rhysling Award. 🙂 🙂

I am very happy to report that Asimov’s Science Fiction has accepted one of my poems, the fifth poem they’ve taken from me, and the second that is part of my How-To astronomy sequence. In other happy news, my poem How to Hide the Milky Way has appeared in Uppagus 🙂

My poem Jumble has just been published in Heroic Fantasy Quarterly, the first King Xau poem to be published in over a year (I stopped submitting them for a bit).

My poem “Without Worship” has been accepted by the venerable Space and Time magazine, who last published a poem of mine back in 2003!

I am very happy to report that my short story “The Boy Who Went to Mars” has been accepted by Analog 🙂

My poem “How to Decorate the Moon” is online in the new issue of Eye to the Telescope 🙂
