in curating this list, iâve put a focus on modern and diverse works, as we often think of old white men when we think of speculative poetry, and iâd like to challenge that! please keep this in mind if youâd like to suggest any works!

AHHHH this is such a good list! I might suggest Beautiful Mutants by Adam Pottle - it mixes prose poems and more standard forms with some interesting experiments with sound.
