There were berries and cherries as thick as might be seen

My poem "Cherries in Winter" is now online at Goblin Fruit. It's possibly one of the few nonfantastic pieces I have ever written, maybe. Read the rest—the green children, the kitsune, the cryptozoologist and the explorer, the seal-woman, the choke-damp. It's like an illuminated manuscript every quarter-year.

What do the blue dots next to some titles indicate?

It is, isn't it? I always look forward to seeing what art Oliver's produced next.

I was visiting there on Monday, wishing for new things to appear, and they have! I like getting my wish.

With the sound of coin, a beggar once paid
an uncharitable cook for the smell of a meal.

I can't even begin to say how much that passage rocks. It may not be overtly fantasy, but it definitely knows the territory. I think this might be one of my favorites you've done.

Wonderful mood, wonderful sense of loss at the end.

So glad I clicked on that link and got to read your poem. Now the world is alive. Your poems do that.

As for your current music, I had no idea Patti Smith covered that song. I'm very curious to hear it.
