You know it's true—I'm part of you

The afternoon's mail has brought my contributor's copy of Not One of Us #67, containing my poem "Narcissus in London." It is appropriately a poem I rediscovered as if someone else had written it, fifteen years ago on the heels of rewatching The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) and experiencing a regrettable yet enduringly unmanageable quantity of feelings about Jason Flemyng's Jekyll and Hyde. The title comes from the film's trick of switched reflections. It shares its killer pages with stories and poems by Patrick Barb, Holly Day, Alexandra Seidel, Colin Sinclair, Jennifer Crow, and more. Go forth, check it out, subscribe, submit! This little black-and-white 'zine published my first work ever twenty years ago this September. I should do something to commemorate that.

Saturday morning, when you are asleep and I am schlepping cardboard to the dump, I shall brainstorm titles. I shall focus and think “Robert Frost stomped into a snowy pool by queer communist rusalki, all ringed about by frost-fingers and long hair.”

Thank you! And, yes, thank you again, that is absolutely a book I want to read.

Hurrah! Happy china anniversary!

Thank you!

(It isn't September, I just dreadfully realized, it's August. My copy arrived a few days early. I should still do something to celebrate when the season comes.)
