"Science Fiction" means—to us—everything found in the science fiction section of a bookstore, or at a science fiction convention, or amongst the winners of the Hugo awards given by the World Science Fiction Society. This includes the genres of science fiction (or sci-fi), fantasy, slipstream, alternative history, and even stories with lighter speculative elements. We hope you enjoy the broad range that SF has to offer.
Peter Roberts is a mathematically educated poet who sometimes writes fiction. He has been contributing to various magazines and journals for more than forty years, and has poems forthcoming in The Magazine of Speculative Poetry and Lilliput Review. See his slightly out-of-date personal webpage, god-and-country.info/personal.html, where you can find links to lists of all his published poems and stories, if you look carefully enough. Some may find the rest of the website interesting as well.
