The Last Valkyrie by Patricia Masson Woman, by her weird lured waiting stands, for the land’s king, so called, and his long craft, wading deep laden. With fighting men freighted, Forth they sailed to northward; Come to coast at Hastings, Keen and armed to do harm....
Pat Masson's "The Last Valkyrie" imagines the last English Valkyrie forseeing King Harold's death but feeling compelled to go fight for him at Hastings anyway.

I am so excited to announce that my poem "Gretel", published in GRIMM RETOLD from @speculationpub.bsky.social, is officially a Rhysling nominee!!
This was my first published poem, and seeing it on the nominees list was truly surreal!
🌈🚀📚💙 #rhysling @sfpoetry.bsky.social
#Rhysling nominations end tomorrow @sfpoetry.bsky.social so here's one more look at my eligible work, please email for the one piece that isn't free to read
Are you an SFPA member? Are you still finalizing your Rhysling nominations?
I'd be thrilled if you considered my poem GRETEL (111 lines), a dark fantasy fairytale take that reexamines our notions of villainy and the patriarchal narratives we tell ourselves - and believe.
