Long-hidden shadows of the places they came from

My poem "Drinking from the Incantation Bowl" has been accepted by Vastarien: A Literary Journal. I love these spiraling traps of words and the demons caught in them, but I still don't know what jolted the writing of the poem last October. I said at the time, "Maybe I just feel the king of the demons would be a better problem to deal with than any human we have in power right now." The market is a new one for me and one whose pages I am delighted to join. I am having a lot of difficulty with the world right now, but art is an important thing.

Congratulations! I don't know if the name of the journal has a meaning or significance, but I like the sound of it when I say it to myself. And yes, art is a good thing, in heaven, hell, or in between.

Congratulations!

Thank you!

I don't know if the name of the journal has a meaning or significance, but I like the sound of it when I say it to myself.

It's named after a dreamworld in a Thomas Ligotti story of the same name, which I have not read. I agree it's evocative.

And yes, art is a good thing, in heaven, hell, or in between.

I am doing my best to keep making it!

Congratulations! That looks like a very interesting journal.

Thank you! I've read a couple of their back issues; they're very good. You should send work when they reopen to submissions again.

"Maybe I just feel the king of the demons would be a better problem to deal with than any human we have in power right now."

That is painfully accurate.

Congrats on the acceptance.

That is painfully accurate.

I've read multiple stories where it turns out all right!

Congrats on the acceptance.

Thank you.
