Science fiction is the cutting edge of literature. A sci-fi writer won the Nobel Prize in 2007; Philip Dick and Frank Herbert were the foremost writers of the 50s and 60s, in terms of pushing the envelope, along with only Beckett on the proper literature side.
- dgabriel 18y agoWell, sure, and I wouldn't be reading SF periodicals if I didn't agree. However, in terms of poetry, it's not really cutting edge at all. In fact, most of it is miserable. Exhibit A: Bruce Boston.
- unalone 18y agoWait, is there really sci-fi poetry? The only stuff of that sort I liked was Asimov's, and it was fun, but not particularly good.
