This morning while I was walking in the sand at Point Mugu, [info]time_shark called to let me know what happened yesterday with the Rhyslings!

And as a particularly large wave left me drenched from about mid-thigh down, I discovered that the members of the Science Fiction Poetry Association have awarded the following:

2008 Rhysling Short Poem Award: "Eating Light" by F.J. Bergmann (from Mythic Delirium)
2nd Place: "Ice Palace" by Margaret Atwood (from The Door)
3rd Place: "The Oracle on River Street" by Rachel Swirsky (from Goblin Fruit)

2008 Rhysling Long Poem Award: "The Seven Devils of Central California" by Catherynne M. Valente (from Farrago's Wainscot)
2nd Place: "In Deepspace Shadows" by Kendall Evans (Mythic Delirium Books)
3rd Place: "The Engineer" by Bryan Dietrich (from Isotope)

Congratulations to all the winners!

I read your message in regard to garlic...and could not help but laugh. maybe a vampire lurks in the kitchen. I am quite curious to know what did you discover in that book?

lol - your haiku just made me think of vampires....with the garlic and the sunlight....

The vampire book I was reading was fiction - "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova. It's a great read.
