The first Rhysling Anthology, published in 1978, consisted of 14 poems on 13 Xeroxed pages. The publication of this striking 79-poem anthology is thus a testament to the skyrocketing popularity of science fiction and fantasy poetry over the past three decades.

Herein you'll find the true descendants of Gilgamesh and Beowulf, Paradise Lost and Eureka, The Star-Treader and Aniara.
Mythic, speculative, macabre, science fictional, weird, fantastic, dystopian, dark, cosmic, magical, surreal, astrological, elfin, supernatural, futurist, spiritual, horrific, mystical, astronomic, grotesque, ethereal, folkloric, utopian, scientific, terrifying, starry, spectral-regardless of the differences in their emphases, the 96 poems published in this, the 31st-annual RHYSLING ANTHOLOGY, have two things in common: in privileging the imagination, they explore realms and ideas that hover outside the confines of our largely rational and empiric daily realities; and of all such poems published in 2007, the explorations undertaken herein are the most innovative and nuanced-and the most masterfully articulated.

Bum Rush the Page is a groundbreaking collection, capturing the best new work from the poets who have brought fresh energy, life, and relevance to American poetry. “Here is a democratic orchestration of voices and visions, poets of all ages, ethnicities, and geographic locations coming together to create a dialogue and to jam–not slam. This is our mouth on paper, our hearts on our sleeves, our refusal to shut up and swallow our silence. These poems are tough, honest, astute, perceptive, lyrical, blunt, sad, funny, heartbreaking, and true. They shout, they curse, they whisper, and sing. But most of all, they tell it like it is.” –Tony Medina, from the Introduction
