Space & Time Fall/Winter 2022 #142
The oldest continuously published speculative fiction semi-pro magazine in print returns with Space & Time Issue #142, a Fall/Winter 2022 collection of fantasy, horror, science fiction, poetry, art, essays, reviews, and strange literary visions.
This issue is dedicated to poetics — not only poetry itself, but the shape, structure, and emotional resonance of speculative storytelling. Inside, readers will find body-snatcher noir, generation ships, ghostly girls, dead processions, alien nations, cosmic music, mythic queens, serpents, strange feasts, monstrous transformations, planetary dreams, autumn horror, and poems that move through grief, identity, desire, dread, and wonder.
Issue #142 features work by Linda D. Addison, Frances Lu-Pai Ippolito, Gordon Linzner, L. Allen Gillick, John Grey, Debasish Mishra, Andrea Mungiello, Dennis Maulsby, Sean Joseph Pino, Michael Wyatt, Marge Simon, Benjamin Henry, Sean Eads, Joshua Viola, Purbasha Roy, Colleen Anderson, Daniel M. Kimmel, Lena Ng, Marcus Whalbring, E. E. King, Maria Zoccola, Terrie Leigh Relf, Aaron Sandberg, Angel Leal, Rina Inae, Kelly Talbot, Francis W. Alexander, Maxwell I. Gold, Mary Soon Lee, Jay Sturner, LindaAnn LoSchiavo, Geneve Flynn, Briant Laslo, Randall Andrews, Chong May Yin, Carina Bissett, Archie Abaire, Seth Jani, Angela Acosta, John Urbancik, Ara Hone, Lynn I. Hsu, Carol Edwards, and more.
Also included are Linda D. Addison’s Poetry Editor vs. Editing Poetry, a practical and reflective look at selecting and shaping poems; Word Ninja, exploring the latest offerings in dark poetry; Frances Lu-Pai Ippolito’s Six-pack Author Round-Up; Michael Wyatt’s debut The Mx. Up: Transmissions from Beyond the Binary Writer’s Log; Daniel M. Kimmel’s Take Two on the Movies; Maxwell I. Gold’s essay Coming Out of the Closet: The Imposter Inside Us All; and Briant Laslo’s autumn horror movie picks.
From the fairy-tale crime of Gordon Linzner’s “Saved by a Hair” to Benjamin Henry’s haunting generation-ship story “Solitaire,” from Sean Eads and Joshua Viola’s alien-contact nightmare “The Music of the Spheres” to Lynn I. Hsu’s body-snatcher tale “The Guest,” Space & Time Issue #142 offers a wide-ranging, poetic journey through the strange, the unsettling, and the beautifully impossible.
