Y tu rostro reflejado en un charco con aceite de coche en el parque

My poems "кот древнее и неприкосновенное животное," "Nostalgia," and "The Women Around Achilles" have been honorably mentioned in Ellen Datlow's The Best Horror of the Year Volume Eleven. All were published last year in assorted issues of Not One of Us and I am really pleased.

Appropriately enough, the table of contents for the fall issue of NOU has been announced and I have a poem in it. I am waiting with impatience for my contributor's copy; I want to know the kinds of story some of those titles belong to.

nineweaving thought I should know about John Craske and she was right.

Today included two doctor's appointments and at least I met spatch for dinner after them. I would like my brain back to write about movies, please.

Ooh, honorable mentions in the Year's Best Horror collection! That's awesome! I remember reading eagerly through those for the Year's Best Fantasy collections. I didn't publish that much short fiction really, but I was looking for my friends too. We were always so excited if anybody got one.

Thank you for the link about the artist who was saved by the sea. I liked the paintings but was just mesmerized by the embroideries.

Understandable! I remember the first story for which I got an honorable mention in The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror. I was so excited, it was almost as good as a reprint.

(I did eventually get a reprint, in the very last anthology of the series. I'm still happy I got in under the wire!)

You're welcome! I would love to see his tapestries in person.

That is really wonderful about the recognition, both for you and for John Benson, who knows good poetry when he sees it.

Thank you! I was far from the only honorable mention for Not One of Us, too.

I was far from the only honorable mention for Not One of Us, too.

Three from Not One of Us #59, four from Not One of Us #60, and two from our annual special publication, Animal Day II. I'll post the list later. Happy, in this subset of my life.

Yes. I loved that first paragraph of the article, and I love his embroidery.
