Well
there's SF&F 'verse'. a lot of which does get printed in places like
Astounding & Asimov's.
Then there are attempts at SF&F poetry, and one rather interesting
anthology I know of, of Speculative Poetry, POLY: New Speculative Writing
(Mountain View CA: Ocean View Books) which took a rather broad view of the
term as it includes David Gascoyne, Peter Redgrove, Tom Disch, Tristan
Tzara, Diane Ackerman and many others among its contributers (even me).
I imagine that the best so called speculative poetry is just good poetry
that finds a slightly different way toward ostranenie...
