As is the tradition at Starship Sloane Publishing, all short form poetry appearing in its magazines is nominated. Thank you to the Science Fiction Poetry Association for making that process quick and easy by allowing editors to send a link to each magazine so that the Dwarf Stars editors may peruse the publications for their selections for the Dwarf Stars Anthology.
Here are the splendid pieces chosen for inclusion and up for the award.
The Starlight SciFaiku Review, Spring 2023
“autumn equinox” & “deep autumn” by Joshua Gage
“cities blinking out” by Ed Brickell
“quantum fluctuations” & “spiderwebs” by Joshua St. Claire
“sitting in the dark” by Jill Trade
The Flying Saucer Poetry Review, Winter 2023
