The 2019 Rhysling Anthology by David C. Kopaska-Merkel
5.0
This is an anthology of the best speculative poetry published in 2018 and as such is a valuable cross-section of the genre poetry being published now. Not all of the poems are to my personal taste, but they are all excellent poems.
I finished my first pass through the Anthology and don’t have much time to ruminate on the best poem among them. I’m using A method another member of the SFPA recommends: Mark all the ones you like as you read through the first time. Divide all of those into groups of 6. Choose the 2 best from each group of 6. From those divide into groups of 6, and continue until you are down to the last group of 6. Choose and rank the best 3 from that last group.
