POPULARITY
Poetry is not limited to poets.When you1. say more2. in fewer words,you are being poetic.Pithy, insightful statements are poetry.Frederik Pohl was not trying to explain why we increase our purchases of ice cream, alcohol, and entertainment when we are sad, but he summarizes it perfectly in just 20 words:“What I wanted very badly was something to take my mind off all the things that were on my mind.”1In another of his books, Frederik Pohl uses just 15 words to remind us of something we have often seen and always known:“No circumstances were ever so bad that a little human effort couldn't make them worse.”2Frederik Pohl was not a poet or a philosopher, but a science fiction writer born in 1919.Does this next statement conjure an image in your mind?“How clearly I saw what he had become! A man who so loved religiosity that he traded his ethical responsibilities for the brightness of that love.”3 – Arkady MartineArkady Martine is not a poet or a philosopher, but another science fiction writer.“Vanity manifests itself in overseriousness. To the vain, the trivialities of this world are of momentous importance. Everything that happens to a vain person is terribly important.”4– Eric Hoffer, a dockworker“It's steel country, anthracite country, a place full of holes. Smokestacks fume and locomotives trundle back and forth on elevated conduits and leafless trees stand atop slag heaps like skeleton hands shoved up from the underworld.”5– Anthony Doerr, a novelistPoetry is not limited to poets. When you say more, in fewer words, you are being poetic.Most people avoid poetry because they feel it to be sissy, elitist, and irrelevant. After all, who wants to say more in fewer words?Every advertiser on the planet, that's who.Poetic statements jump over the wall of the intellect to land on the softest parts of the heart.And if you win the heart, the mind will follow. The mind will always create logic to justify what the heart has already decided.Transactional writing wins the mind.Relational writing wins the heart.Transactional writing is about features and benefits.Relational writing is about identity reinforcement.Learn to say more in fewer words.People will pay close attention when you speak.Your ads will produce miraculous results.Your meetings will be shorter and more productive.You will be widely admired, much remembered, and often quoted.In the 6th chapter of Matthew's Good News, Jesus tells his followers not to include mindless repetition in their prayers. God doesn't need filler words, and he doesn't need us to repeat ourselves in order to be heard.That's right, God doesn't need filler words.And neither do the rest of us.Roy H.

«El día millón», que fue considerado casi un clásico instantáneo y hablaba con normalidad de transexualidad, entre otras muchas cosas; cuando toda la comunidad de autores supo que Arthur C. Clarke era homosexual y guardó un respetuoso silencio; cuando empezaron a proliferar las mujeres en las páginas de las revistas, y el feminismo se convirtió en un tema central en la parte del género que más interesaba a la crítica y tiraba del carro creativo. Frederik Pohl-Biografía (1919-2013) fue un mítico escritor y editor de ciencia ficción estadounidense galardonado con cuatro premios Hugo y tres Nébula, durante sus más de setenta y cinco años de carrera. Con Pórtico, su obra más relevante, consiguió en 1977 hacer historia al llevarse los premios Hugo, Nébula, John W. Campbell y Locus. Con ella inició, además, su aclamada «Saga de los Heechee», una auténtica serie de culto integrada por Pórtico, Tras el incierto horizonte, El encuentro y Los anales de los Heechee, todas ellas publicadas en Nova. Además de autor, Pohl fue durante años editor de la revista Galaxy, galardonada tres años consecutivos con el Hugo a la mejor revista del año, y uno de los nombres que más han inspirado a toda una generación de escritores de ciencia ficción.

Episode 013 of the AboutSF podcast is a recording of Mary A. Turzillo reading the epilogue from the Frederik Pohl novel Beyond the Blue Event Horizon, which was first published in 1980. Mary A. Turzillo has published numerous works of fiction and poetry. Her story “Mars Is No Place for Children” won the 2000 Nebula award for best novelette, and her novel An Old-Fashioned Martian Girl was serialized in Analog from July to November in 2004. Mary’s 2007 collection of poetry, Your Cat & Other Space Aliens, published by VanZeno Press, was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. This epilogue from Frederik Pohl’s novel Beyond the Blue Event Horizon was read by Mary as part of the festivities at the 2011 Campbell Conference.
For episode four of the AboutSF AUDIO podcast we are thrilled to share a recording of Frederik Pohl reading his story “Day Million.” Mr. Pohl graciously recorded himself reading the story specifically for this podcast. Frederik Pohl’s career as a writer and editor spans over seventy years from his first published work “Elegy to a Dead Planet: Luna” in 1937, to his most recent novel, All the Lives He Led, published by Tor in 2011. He is a multiple Nebula and Hugo award winner, as well as a recipient of the National Book Award. Mr. Pohl’s other awards are too numerous to list. His beloved works include The Space Merchants, written with Cyril M. Kornbluth, and the Heechee series of novels. Mr. Pohl blogs actively at www.thewaythefutureblogs.com The theme for this year’s 2011 Campbell Conference, hosted by the Center for the Study of Science Fiction in Lawrence, KS, is "Alternating Currents: Frederik Pohl and Theodore Sturgeon." A reading of Mr. Pohl’s and Mr. Sturgeon’s works will be included with the other Campbell Conference events. Information about the 2011 Campbell Conference, and the writing workshops hosted by the Center for the Study of Science fiction, is available at www2.ku.edu/~sfcenter/ “Day Million,” a story first published in 1966, is as keenly insightful in its exploration of human evolution, relationships and gender, as it was when first published. It is a great honor to have Mr. Pohl read this story for the podcast.
