2022 RHYSLING LONG POEM READING SERIES – Part 10 (Final!)

Welcome back to our series showcasing pieces nominated for the 2022 Rhysling Award in the Long Poem category. Today is the last day to vote (for SFPA members only, I’m afraid) – 1st November 2022! This is the final post in the series and we do hope you’ve enjoyed these audio/video productions of the poems. This series, however, does not comprise the full list of nominated poems. View the full list of speculative poems nominated for Rhysling Awards in 2022 here: https://www.sfpoetry.com/ra/pages/22r…

We would like to take this opportunity to thank those involved in creating this series: Brittany Hause (video treatment and YouTube), Jordan Hirsch (narration and video treatment), Jasmine Arch (narration), and Diane Severson Mori (narration and this blog). This would not have been possible with the team – thank you for your excellent work! A huge thank you also to all the poets who created their own audio files for us with which we created videos and to those poets who did the work of both! Please be sure to like any videos you feel moved to like. Each thumbs up helps us to extend our reach to those not already connected to the SFPA.

Be sure to subscribe to this blog or to the SFPA YouTube channel for updates. We hope to be producing similar series for other occasions, and you will also find interviews and reviews there as well.

Enjoy these and then go vote for your favorites!
