By Editors of the PSB Writing Center

We are excited to share the news of Susan E. Wagner’s nomination for a Rhysling Award for her poem, Pa and the Devil, which was published online by Aphelion: The Webzine of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Click here for a link to the poem.

The Rhysling Award is given by the Science Fiction Poetry Association and the poems are featured in their yearly anthology. We wish Sue the best of luck!

In her announcement to her fellow Pearl S. Buck Writing Center editors, Sue said, “I never thought I’d write a science fiction/fantasy poem, let alone get nominated for an award! Thank you all for your support throughout my writing journey. It’s great to share the happy news.”
