The afternoon's mail brought my contributor's copy of Not One of Us #78, containing my poem "Hagstone." It was prompted by a picture taken by a friend of
ashlyme's and incorporates some of the cautionary attitude toward antiquities of M. R. James; it belongs to the train issue whose border-blurring motif extends through the stories and poems of Pamela Weis, Lynn Hardaker, Robert Beveridge, Marissa Lingen, Patricia Russo, and more.

I did! I was curious. I heard them first in the order I linked them, which meant a slightly different experience to yours.
My subscriber's copy of Not One of Us arrived too--looking forward to plunging in.
Enjoy! It's a strong issue.
I bless them for their hamantashn like I bless you for always, always bringing me good music.
Thank you! I love that they bring you hamantashn. We'll be making ours

Classicists yes-anding the bit, beautifully.
