Welcome back to our series showcasing pieces nominated for the 2022 Rhysling Award in the Long Poem category. Tomorrow is the last day to vote (for SFPA members only, I’m afraid) – 1st November 2022! Contrary to what we claimed in the previous post, there will be one more post after this one early tomorrow.
Our reading series continues with more performances from poets around the world. Listen to them here or on YouTube, where new recordings are uploaded daily.
Get comfy, because you have a little more than an hour of listening, what with 2 epic poems included in this batch!
