Two years ago, walking around WorldCon, I got blank stares from a lot of folks when my answer to their question of "what do you write?" was "speculative poetry". Today we're one step closer to a permanent Hugo Award for Poetry!🎉🎉 I'm so grateful to the folks who've made this a reality!
Holly Lyn WalrathI am overjoyed that the Poetry Hugo Award has once again PASSED. It will need to be re-ratified in 2029 to be officially officially permanent. Complicated rules aside, thank you to everyone who voted or supported this goal. Us poets truly love y'all! To read more about this see poetryhugo.com
