YA. Once again, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America have come up with an excellent grouping of short stories, essays, and poems for their annual awards. Contributors include Harlan Ellison, Ursula Leguin, Robert S. Silverbert, and Lisa Goldstein. The selections range from the bizarre as in "Alien Jane" or "Think Like a Dinosaur" to the seemingly mundane with a slight twist as in "Death and the Librarian." Poems and essays on such topics as science fiction and fantasy films of the year are also included. A feast for fans of the genre.

Members of the Science Fiction Writers Association (SFWA) annually read and vote on the best fiction from their peers. This 1995 compilation includes not only a Nebula Award-winning novella by Elizabeth Hand and a novelette by Ursula K. LeGuin but short stories, poetry, and essays from the annual symposium assessing the state of science fiction, among other riches. Essential for science fiction collections not only for the winning entries but for the evaluative essays by some of the genre's top writers.
