I am green to my eyes and green to my heart

[sovay]

My poem "Your Starving Days" has been accepted by Not One of Us. I wrote it in the half-hour allotted by the Infernal Salon for Strange Horizons, prompted by the card from Negocios Infernales that reads A seed spends most of its life asleep and the succeeding thought of asakiyume's tooth corn. The title comes from George Mackay Brown's "John Barleycorn." I happen to like cornfields, but I don't seem to write about them without at least a little year-king as a treat.

spatch and I are watching B-movies at random on the internet. With Monster on the Campus (1958) and The She-Creature (1956), we seem to have hit the evolutionary regression double feature jackpot.

Thank you again for the tooth corn!

My great pleasure (I've been enjoying it in small, not-quite-popped doses)

We went into both cold! They make a pretty great double feature. I waved when Whit Bissell went by. spatch sang about Troy Donohue.

I have not lost the pleasure of placing work there. Truthfully, I don't expect to.

Thank you! I would like that.
