Hello, and welcome to Shining Moon: A Speculative Fiction Podcast Episode 4. Today we’ll continue our series by asking questions about speculative poetry. We’ll talk a little about the history of speculative poetry, what it takes to write genre poetry and regular poetry, and where you can find poetry in the wild.

 My guests today are Elgin-winning poet Amelia Gorman, Michelle Muenzler, and Lynne Sargent. Truth be told, I owe a lot of my success as a writer to Michelle getting me started with the Submission Grinder and telling me that poetry could actually be written and sold in the modern age. 

Contains: Interviews with three poets, and a Poetry "Thunderdome" in which the poets are given 2 minutes to write poems including three prompt words.

"Don't tell me that the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass." -- Anton Chekov
