The Science Fiction Poetry Association has nominated Nancy Hightower’s The Acolyte for an Elgin Award for best full-length book! A poem from The Acolyte, “The Forgetting (Bathsheba’s Lament),” appeared in Issue 7 of Bop Dead City, and of course her story “However You Spin the Grin” appears in Issue 14.

A day late and usually a dollar short, that’s me. So, while this is the official announcement of the new submission periods, lots of you have already sent your work in (which is awesome!) and if you haven’t, do.
The contest theme this go-around is dreams. As always I’m excited to see what you kids do with the theme. Go nuts, please. Also as always, best poem gets $20, best story gets $20 unless there’s no best poem or story, and then the sole winner gets $40.
Good luck to all!
