Get me out of here if you can and I won't do anything you wouldn't
My poem "Punic War IV" is now online at Through the Gate. Like the majority of my poems in the last three years, its writing was politically driven. It is even aptly timed for Memorial Day, the way most of this country goes about it.
In pleasant counterweight to the previous two nights, I slept about eight hours with only a slight break around the time the sun came up, after which I burrowed back under the weighted blanket and conked out again. Have some links that aren't mine.

moon_custafer, who thoughtfully tagged it for me: the proper bracha for throwing a milkshake at a fascist.
2. Abigail Nussbaum on Israeli Eurovision vs. Netanyahu.
3. I love how much this story does with implication: Nibedita Sen's "Ten Excerpts from an Annotated Bibliography on the Cannibal Women of Ratnabar Island."
4. The amusing, educational text that taught Babylonian scribes and teaches us: "At the Cleaners."
5. R.I.P. Judith Kerr. I can't remember if I knew that the same person had written Mog the Forgetful Cat (1970) and When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit (1971). I certainly didn't remember her husband was Nigel Kneale.
pameladean, the first time I saw my husband in a show he didn't write himself, it was Theatre@First's The Lady's Not for Burning. Now he's in their production of The Revenger's Tragedy. I'm looking forward so much. I thought you should know.

I have not read that! I will have to see if I can detect the echo.
And it's such an ordered brilliant look at horrible chaos. The last lines made me gasp.
I have never come up with a good response for someone telling me something like that, but thank you. I mean it. It means the poem worked.

I can never respond to comments like the one that I made to you, myself; and yet I do make them, since I appreciate being on either side of them.
