It is April, which - to make up for being the cruelest month - is also National Poetry Month! So for the month of April, instead of linking to a piece of speculative fiction at this time, I am going to link to a piece of fantastic or science fictional poetry.
Megan Kurashige is a regular contributor here at Fantasy Matters, so I am delighted to link to her lovely poem, "Mythical Cities of Southwestern Minnesota." This poem was originally published in May 2011 in Strange Horizons.
