Here are some of my favorite recent spec poems (and why I love them)! But this is just a tiny sample of all the amazing spec poetry out there, and I hope you’ll all keep looking for your own new favorites and sharing them 🖤

🧵 Attention, Fellow SFF Artists and Authors -- here is my response to Must Read Magazines, after they presented an Asimov's art contract expecting me to waive all Moral Rights and Copyright to my art. And, I would strongly advise the following to my fellow pros…. 1/

John Picacio’s response to Must Read Magazine’s request for his waiver of all Moral Rights and Copyright of his commissioned art for an ASIMOV’S assignment. Short version — Picacio says a resounding NOPE.

JEN, this is so good. The rhythm in that first stanza is so punchy and that callback ending. Ahhh, can't wait to hear you read this someday!!

@angelaliu.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 4:25 PM

Corneal abrasion from....cleaning up my kiddo's pipe cleaner and foil art projects is definitely something I hadn't expected 💀

@angelaliu.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 2:28 PM

I have a new poem out in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social today! It’s my first new poem of the year.

“Butterfly Effect” is inspired by all the unfinished stories and all the things I wish we could take back.

My interview in the new issue of @orionsbeltmagazine.bsky.social is now free-to-read!

I talk about my story "Brainstem Disco, 2191," how I write flash vs. poetry, and thinking in multiple languages.

I’m guest editing the next issue of Agita; send me your weirdest <1000 word stories about weird art.

Authors from marginalized backgrounds encouraged and prioritized.

No AI bullshit.

The weirder the better.

agitamag.com/submissions/

Issue 3: Ekphrasis
Between October 17 and November 17, guest editor Zachary Gillan will accept submissions of weird flash fiction that features ekphrasis.
Ekphrasis is the verbal representation of a work of visual art.
Weird fiction is a verbal representation of the world, in order to unsettle it.
We want stories that live at the intersection of the two. Pieces that emphasize the eerie power of weird art, whether fully ekphrastic or embedded within a traditional narrative. How does the weird seep in as reality is doubly estranged from these two layers of representation? Cursed paintings, uncanny statues, haunted mezzotints-send us your stories of weird art.
