Before Steve was a globally acclaimed science fiction writer, he traveled in poetry, which was a thing you could actually do, back in the last century. To the best of my knowledge, he never stopped writing poetry, though he did stop trying to publish, and many people just don’t know about this side of him.
Which is why it’s especially pleasing that the Baltimore Science Fiction Society (Steve’s first and lasting home in science fiction fandom) has chosen to name its poetry award after him: Steve Miller BSFS Annual Poetry Contest.

Way cool!
Great!
A fitting memoriam.
