If shameless self-promotion is permissible, I have a couple of books recently published:
Speculative Japan: Outstanding Tales of Japanese Science Fiction & Fantasy (Kurodahan Press)
Edited by Gene van Troyer Grania Davis
www.kurodahan.com/e/catalog...j0021.html
Features 14 stories and one long poem. This book attempted to complete the work that Judith Merril started with Japanese SF many years ago, and many of the translations are collaborations between her and several Japanese translators. Several have never before been published in English.
Collaborations: A Collection of Collaborative Poetry
Edited by Gene van Troyer
www.ravennapress.com/books
All of the poems in this book were coauthored by two or more poets. While not specifically genre SF as a whole, many of the poems are overtly so. Featured poets are Ray Bradbury, Tom Disch, Bruce Boston, Robert A. Frazier, Marilyn Hacker, Gene van Troyer, and many others.

Hi, Gene!
Speculative Japan is wonderful. I don't (yet!) have a copy of Collaborations, but the last book I read of collaborative poems was Jane Reichhold's (non-SF) The Road to Renga.
By way of endorsement: Not only does Speculative Japan have terrific stories of the type and motifs that I don't see in the States, but the anthology includes essays that provide a valuable historical context. -

Thanks for the endorsement!. I'm hopeful that a couple of the stories in Speculative Japan will find their way onto the Hugo ballot, especially Yamano Koichi's "Where do the Birds Fly Now?" and Kono Tensei's "Hikari."
As for Collaborations, there isn't a Renga in the lot. It's all focused on Western forms. There is one other collection I know of out there, The Saints of Hysteria, released in early 2007. I don't recall the publisher.
