Book excerpt: Mythic, speculative, macabre, science fictional, weird, fantastic, dystopian, dark, cosmic, magical, surreal, astrological, elfin, supernatural, futurist, spiritual, horrific, mystical, astronomic, grotesque, ethereal, folkloric, utopian, scientific, terrifying, starry, spectral-regardless of the differences in their emphases, the 96 poems published in this, the 31st-annual RHYSLING ANTHOLOGY, have two things in common: in privileging the imagination, they explore realms and ideas that hover outside the confines of our largely rational and empiric daily realities; and of all such poems published in 2007, the explorations undertaken herein are the most innovative and nuanced-and the most masterfully articulated.
