The nominations for the 2017 Rhysling Awards have closed, and this year's chair, David C. Kopaska-Merkel is doing the final reviews on nomination qualifications and permissions. This includes ensuring candidates have been nominated by active members for the correct categories and were published within the eligible time frame, which is an intensive process, especially when contacting poets and publishers from more underground and off-the-grid venues. What we can say is that 77 distinct publications featured poems that were nominated this year in both long form and short forms, including the SFPA journals Star*Line and Eye To The Telescope. There were several new journals who debuted this year, as well as publishers that had poems nominated from their publications for the very first time. Nominees seemed to come predominantly from journals, or anthologies, more than from individual author collections. But here we present the list of publications and venues of our 2017 Rhysling Award nominees and we thank and congratulate everyone who has supported the growth and diversity of speculative poetry in all of its many forms.
