Starburst! Speculative Poetry Readings for Women’s History Month

The Speculative Sundays Reading Series returns in 2025 with StarBurst, presenting speculative poets every Sunday in Women’s History Month from 7 to 8 p.m. E.T., live on Facebook @speculative poetry via Zoom.

The poets in the StarBurst series are:
March 2 Jenna Le

March 9 Jennifer Crow

March 16 Linda D. Addison

March 23 Vivian Prescott

March 30 Mary Truzillo

After the introduction and poetry reading, the poet engages in conversation with the host and answers questions from the audience.
The event is free and open to the public.

Inaugurated in September 2020, the series seeks to remediate the paucity of presentations of speculative poetry by its living creators. The Speculative Sundays Poetry Reading Series has presented 40 poets thus far.

Speculative poetry, the poetry of possibilities, includes alternate history, astropoetry, cryptids, cyberfunk, cyberpunk, dystopia, fairytales, fabulism, fantasy, folklore, futurism, horror, magic, monsters, mythology, occult, paranormal, robots, science fiction, shifters, slipstream, solar punk, space opera, superheroes, supernatural, sword and sorcery, sword and soul, steamfunk, steampunk, time-travel, post-apocalyptic, and weird. It takes all poetic forms plus scifaiku.
