Amazing Stories: Speculative Poetry Round-up January 2014

I'm on vacation visiting family in Montana. I'm doing my best not to spend tons of time online and on my phone (and being marginally successful) but deadlines will be deadlines and my regularly scheduled post for Amazing Stories was due yesterday. It came out this morning, 1 January 2014: 

Speculative Poetry Round-up January 2014. Poetry around the web by Ann K. Schwader, Lisa M. Bradley, Brian Garrison, Bruce Boston, Dennis Lane and Beth Cato. Plus an article about poetry by Isaac Asimov.
