Because of the Spanish wreck I tackled the hill
A draft of the program for this year's ICFA is now online. I am left praying that the conference will produce an annual publication of all its papers, because who schedules things like "The Hidden Mystical Sublime: The Poetry of Algernon Swinburne Dramatized in Aleister Crowley's Rite of Venus," "Uh Oh, They're Learning: The New Dangers and Heroes of the Zombie Apocalypse," and "Insects and Automatism: Angela Carter, ETA Hoffmann, and Guillermo del Toro" all across from one another? I am personally in competition with papers on slipstream, humor and the sublime, David Bowie, and Grindhouse. I need the ability either to time-travel or to duplicate myself. Possibly both.

kijjohnson), as well as handful_ofdust's "The Dream of the Astronaut," Brad C. Hodson's "The Perfect Jackson," Patricia Russo's "Why," and other stories neither here nor there. As soon as I have a link for purchase, I'll put it up.
How is it I am just now discovering George Mackay Brown?
