After
our successful participation in the sci-fi romance anthology Speculative Relationships II in 2015, my creative partner and I were invited back
this year to submit a short graphic story to the third and final installment in
the series, Speculative Relationships III. Our story is well underway, and has been
another fun opportunity to delve into the genre of "speculative"
fiction (like Margaret Atwood, I prefer the term to "science
fiction"). There's something very
freeing about creating a story that is largely imaginative and fantastic, since
the poetry I write is typically grounded firmly in reality (except one of my
very favorite poems, "Make Way," that I could never seem to get
published, about a duckling who takes revenge on the SUV that killed his
family). To read more about Speculative Relationships II, you can visit the editor's
Kickstarter page at
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1619738205/speculative-relationships-volume-2. I also recently discovered, by accident, that
I am now a Goodreads author because Speculative Relationships
II found its way onto the site. Who knew?
