The Moment of Change, a new anthology of feminist speculative poetry edited by Rose Lemberg, is now available from Aqueduct Press. It includes my poem My Bones Cracked Abacus, which was nominated for a Rhysling Award, as well as fabulous work from people like Ursula K. LeGuin, Delia Sherman, Theodora Goss, Amal El-Mohtar, Vandana Singh, Nisi Shawl, Greer Gilman, Sonya Taaffe, Athena Andreadis, Jo Walton, and Catherynne M. Valente.
From the Aqueduct web page:
Lemberg writes in her introduction that “Literature of the fantastic allows us to create worlds and visions of society, origins, social justice and identity,” but notes that “even though we are in the world, our voices are folded into the creases. We speak from memory of stories told sidewise. We speak from pain; is that serious enough? The world has not been welcoming, but what other world is there?”
“In these pages,” Lemberg summarizes, “you will find works in a variety of genres—works that can be labeled mythic, fantastic, science fictional, historical, surreal, magic realist, and unclassifiable; poems by people of color and white folks; by poets based in the US, Canada, Britain, India, Spain, and the Philippines; by first- and second-generation immigrants; by the able-bodied and the disabled; by straight and queer poets who may identify as women, men, trans, and genderqueer.”
When I go on tour (or, in the event that I am in jail, set up a proxy tour) for my new book, I’ll totally have copies of this available too!
