The highlights for me were "Meet Me in Iram" by the incomparable Sofia Samatar, "The Thirteen Mercies" by Maria Dahvana Headley, and "The Duniazát" by Salman Rushdie.

"Vulcanization" by Nisi Shawl and "The Story of Kao Yu" by Peter S. Beagle are the standouts I found in this collection.

Excellent story and well done. The tension building was subtle but at just the right moment it became imperative to keep reading.

Kage Baker was a wonder of nature. The voice in her story, Rex Nemorensis is so strong reading felt like watching a character in a film. Jay Lake's Testaments is a wonderful series of Kings in a newer Testament not yet entered into the Bible. Lucius Shepherd's Dream Burgers at the Mouth of Hell is every bit of humorous insanity you expect from Lucius.

Now I have to figure out how to vote for the best in this anthology. I've marked 23 as my finalists, but there are so many great poems in this collection.
