I got my contributor copy for Scifaikuest!
My scifaiku poems "pregnancy on kepler-c", "netting lemon drops" and "clear pearls" are on page 29 and there are some really intriguing gems of poems alongside mine in here!

5) Chip by D. A. Xiaolin Spires: passenger takes sentient low-cost cab and gets taken for a long ride with many detours and advertisements to subsidize fare. Passenger talks cab into a form of emancipation. Good dialogue and extrapolation of current trends
This was such a fun first contact story! Nice and short, and perfect for a warm summer day to transport your mind somewhere cool.

Lovely praise for my SF ELLIPSES novella from @sbdivya.bsky.social

Achingly good, intoxicating and mind-bending science fiction by Dafydd McKimmโand free to read.
Chirality turned on its head, the longing for truth and unknowing, fruitful considerations of identity and star-crossed passion.
Highly recommended!
