Matt Cheney chairs a symposium on speculative poetry at Strange Horizons. What is it? Does it matter? Why? etc. With Alan DeNiro, Theodora Goss, Mike Allen. Favourite poem linked to: 'Family Tree' by GO Clark.

Frank Black talks to Ray Bradbury. Yes, that Frank Black.

Survey claims that young people are "more grown up and responsible than their counterparts were 10 years ago". Uhhuh.

A PVP I find funny! Penny Arcade still going strong.

Discussion of the changing definition of slipstream infernokrusher fiction at David Moles' place. Also The Sparrow, for some reason.

Hot teen Shakespeare! One of Bookslut's columnists snarks about updatings of classic stories.

Around LJ: butterfly writes about male writers writing female characters (friendslist opinion sought: should I be trying to watch this House show?); die_fleiderhat gives us the LJ of the last Dalek; and obsessive24 has come up with some Friends-esque Firefly credits.

Clarke Award tonight. Hopefully see plenty of you there. Watch instant_fanzine for awards results updates.
