You talk to me as if from a distance and I reply with impressions chosen from another time
My poems "Ariadne in Queens" and "A Vixen When She Went to School" have been accepted by The Cascadia Subduction Zone. The first was written shortly after seeing The Big Combo (1955), inspired by a comment of
asakiyume's and influenced by a fifth-century vase painting; the second is not the story I thought of writing after the Boston Lyric Opera's A Midsummer Night's Dream in 2011, but it is Hermia/Puck and I regret nothing. Both should appear in the next issue. Another good way to start the year.
[edit] And the mail brought me Carolyn Turgeon's The Mermaid Handbook (2018), courtesy of
yhlee! It's full of photographs, folktales, and seaweed recipes. It's gorgeous.
