2022 Award Eligibility Post for Wendy Van Camp

Poet Wendy Van Camp on Amtrak Train - Art Shot

Better late than never, this is the obligatory award eligibility post that every author and poet in the universe does at this time of year…except this is the first time I’ve done it! I am eligible for a number of awards, but often forget to post which poems, essays, and stories published in the past year. You can also find this information in my general writing credits on my portfolio site http://wendyvancamp.com. This post makes the information easier to find.

I’ve published a mixture of speculative and literary poetry, essays, and of course, I’m the editor of Eccentric Orbits: An Anthology of Science Fiction Poetry. My published work is available to read online for free, with the exception of the anthology.

Eccentric Orbits 2 – Edited by Wendy Van Camp

Eccentric Orbits is an anthology of speculative poetry by an international cast of poets. It was my pleasure to be the editor of this volume of poetry in 2021 and I hope to return in 2022 to edit another volume of this series. I will be posting calls for poets here on No Wasted Ink, at the SFPA, and via other general anthology submission groups on Facebook. If you write speculative poetry, I hope you will consider submitting your work.

Dimentionfold Publishing is a small press devoted to the support of speculative poetry. You can find a list of the speculative poets who are represented by Dimentionfold at https://dimensionold.com

Eccentric Orbits: An Anthology of Science Fiction Poetry 2 Launches!

Eccentric Orbits Poetry Anthology

Fabulous science fiction poetry and scifaiku by a talented international group of poets. There’s robots, there’s aliens, there’s intergalactic war, there’s the eternal quest for peace, and there’s love found and love lost. Underneath all, is the quest, the truth, and the realization of humanity.

Eccentric Orbits 2 is my debut as a poetry anthology editor. I am humbled by the quality and variety of poetry that was submitted for this volume. I am happy to have it available in time for National Poetry Month. The book is available in paperback via Amazon, or via paperback and pdf through the publisher, Dimensionfold Publishing.
