A shadow dressed in moonlight redder than mud

My poem "Female Figure of the Early Spedos Type, 1884–" has been accepted by GlitterShip. It's more about Cycladic figures than it is about Modigliani. I have never sold this market poetry before and I am pleased.

Aqueduct Press has recently released two collections I am really excited about: Gemma Files' Invocabulary and Gwynne Garfinkle's People Change. I get to kvell slightly because during my tenure at Strange Horizons I published poems now collected in both. I've also been enjoying Say Thanks (1998), the short film Files wrote and directed as part of On the Fly 3. It's a sixteen-minute two-hander with music sourced from Bill Laswell and Coil's "Kála" and an actor who reminds me of Anthony Perkins; it would fit just fine among the stories of Kissing Carrion (2003), my first introduction to her work.

Ruthanna Emrys has just started a Patreon. Rewards include juvenilia, recipes from Innsmouth and Tikanu, reports of the breeding practices of Outer Ones. Yeah, I have no idea, either. Become a patron and find out!

I have had a day that involved a lot of rewarding exertion and missing something I had been looking forward to, in about equal proportions. I am either going to watch a movie or collapse. [edit] Movie ran into technical issues; I guess this leaves collapse.

I have both those collections and am very much looking forward to reading them!

Congratulations on the poetry acceptance--and happy movie or collapse, whichever you choose.

Congratulations on the poetry sale!

I'm enjoying Gemma Files' collection, and it's fun that our books are next to each other in the Conversation Pieces series.

Aw, congrats on the poetry! I hope the collapse will at least mean some recovery by the time you see this. <3

Collapse has its point of interest! :o)

Of yesterday I can say only: GRARGHK.

I hope today gets its act together. In the meantime, felicitations on cracking a new market! Everyone ought to be familiar with your work. It's the least 2018 can do for people.
