5749. Imaginative Verse: A Reading of Speculative Poets
Speculative poetry has been gaining in popularity at science fiction literary conventions across the United States and the world. It does not describe our contemporary life as literary poetry does, but speaks of other worlds, times, and tropes similar to speculative fiction authors. This poetry can be in any form or free verse that literary poetry comes in. The difference is its content is speculative. Please join Poet Laureate Wendy Van Camp and local speculative poets to hear their imaginative verse. Moderated by Wendy Van Camp.

5874. Grokking Heinlein
What were the constants of Heinlein's writing? Where did he challenge things that even he might have believed in, because he thought everything needed to be challenged? A free mind is seldom politically correct. And if one doesn't want characters to be stereotypical shouldn't we allow a writer characters who are idiosyncratic and not a typical woman, boy, black, Phlilpino, or Martian?
