Shorelines gone and maps destroyed

[sovay]

Hello! I have spent most of this week under some weather, but I am surfacing to remind everyone in the area that tomorrow night I will be reading at the Millbury Credit Union as part of Dark Minds, Dark Hearts: A Valentine's Fiction Affair with Larissa Glasser, Matthew M. Bartlett, Doungjai Gam Bepko, and Fiona Maeve Geist, and Andrea Wolanin. Be there or be some kind of uncool Euclidean object.

So I dreamed a story of apocalypse and leviathans. And then asakiyume designed its beer label. She was reminded of it by the recent gathering of whales off Nantucket. Today I discovered that Bonnie "Prince" Billy has written a post-apocalyptic chantey at the behest of his friend who runs Dogfish Head Brewery. The streams are crossing, which is what you would expect them to do when the waters rise.

I misread a line on the internet as the green shock of recovery and I should like to do something with it sometime.

I love that song, so very much. THANK YOU for pointing me to it. I've downloaded it.

I like that line, green shock of recovery. Maybe it's when willows and and dandelions burst through the bastions of Wall Street, topple ferroconcrete, and call to the falcons and the white-tailed deer. (Or the coyotes and badgers--did spatch perhaps show you these hunting buddies?)

(Credit unions will be spared--they do good things like host readings.)

It sounds like a term for the coming of Spring.

Good luck at the reading!

I wish I could be at the reading!

"The green shock of recovery" is a wonderful line.

The streams are crossing,...

Under this rubric: I am reading Frances Hardinge's Deeplight and thinking of you.

Good luck tonight!

I just got hold of a book on collecting beer labels and mats. I'll let you know if I find any weird marine stuff in it (there's one beer mat that promotes the film "Warlords of Atlantis", so that's a start I guess!).

Didn't Dylan Thomas write the poem "The Green Fuse"? There must be a link...

I hope the reading went well! Any stories?

Yes please to the recovery line.
