Poetry of the fantastical: Virtual WFC 2013

From squidlets, staple removers, and songs to mourning, loss, and longing: Roz Kaveny, Tina Rath, Allen Ashley, Ian Hunter, and Megan Kerr were among some 20 poets reading at the Saturday night poetry event, organised by Allen Ashley. Poetry reading is a new event for the World Fantasy Convention, who decided to include it after the success of the Ashley's poetry evening at FantasyCon 2012. And if you missed the panel on whether genre poetry is thriving, you can read that here, and see what Neil Gaiman, Hal Duncan, Jenny Blackford, Jo Fletcher, Simon Adaf, and Allen Ashley have to say.
