Poetry for a Monday

Because it's Monday, and we all need more poetry in our lives on Monday:

1. southernweirdo has recently released a short chapbook of what he calls speculative halibun. Definitely different.

2. Stonetelling is a welcome addition, only the second zine (that I know of) to focus solely on speculative poetry. (Many others – particularly Strange Horizons, Abyss and Apex and Ideomancer and publish poetry, but not exclusively.) Which is perfect, because sometimes I want to drown in poetry, and Goblin Fruit only comes out quarterly.

Stonetelling will be following that quarterly format, and the debut issue bodes very well indeed, opening with a poem from Ursula Le Guin and continuing on from there.

3. And finally, on a purely humorous note, if for some reason you missed it, The .doc File of J. Alfred Prufrock, which wins the internet for the day.

Fringe

Fringe decided to open the season with something different: instead of, "how can we make our viewers toss their dinners this week," they went with…a taxi ride.

( Mildly spoilery discussion of the season three opener and the finale of season two. )

Sparks

Almost forgot to mention - today is the last day to sign up for Daily Science Fiction if you want to see my little story, Sparks, in your inboxes tomorrow. I'll also be posting the link to the website once it appears there.
