J. E. Stanley, a regular contributor to The Ghazal Page, has a ghazal nominated for the Rhysling Award. The ghazal was his contribution to the Moon Radif Challenge Issue. The ghazal is "Lunaticus (in D Minor)." The Rhysling Award is sponsored annually by the Science Fiction Poetry Association. If you go to the SFPA site, you can find information on the Rhyslings, their journal, Star*Line, and other topics. I recommend a visit.
Jim Stanley tells me that Joshua Gage, another contributor to the Ghazal Page has three poems nominated for the Rhysling this year. He and Josh are both members of the Cleveland Speculators. Following this link will take you to a 2008 bibliography of members' publications. You'll see that both Josh and Jim were very active in 2008.
Congratulations to both poets on their nominations for the Rhysling Award.
