Each February, you can hear recordings of members of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association (SFPA) reading their speculative love poems. It’s a delightful take on what can sometimes seem like a well-trodden topic for verse. This year’s selections, curated by Jessica Lucci, include my poem “The Poison Dart Frog Prince” from SpecPoVerse. Yes, this is also the same recording that SpecPoVerse first posted on their website. You don’t get quite the same effect as the visual—my poem is in the shape of a frog—but it was really fun for me to read aloud and give it a life of its own.
There are lots of delightful readings to listen to, so settle in and prepare to get swept away.
