Award: Placed in the Rhyslings!

"The Macabre Modern" (from The Macabre Modern and Other Morbidities) has placed third in the long form section of this year's Rhysling Awards. As the Rhyslings are voted on by the membership of the Science Fiction Poetry Association, this has me feeling pretty darn chuffed. The 2020 Rhysling Anthology reprints all winners and nominees, and "The Macabre Modern" occupies a satisfying number of pages. The collection itself now contains two Australian Shadows Award winners (the essay "The Danse Macabre" and the poem "Revenants of the Antipodes") plus a Rhysling placeholder. T'is a good day to be a morbidly historical poet!
