May was a good month for many of our members at the Science Fiction and Fantasy Poetry Association. We give our thanks to Michael H. Payne who dutifully gathered our members news for this month! Take a look at all of their exciting publications and presentations they gave! Congratulations to all, and we look forward to hearing about more of your successes soon!
