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.

On that line, today's mail brought my contributor's copy of Home and Away, the annual not-Not One of Us publication. Within its black-and-white pages can be found my poems "January" and "The Second Ghost" (for 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?

That is why I hate parallel sessions! The best conference I ever presented at comprised only 23 people, so we all got to hear each other's work and were in the room together every day. I also co-orgnaized two conferences at Harvard with no parallel sessions and the attendees remarked how much more relaxed and enjoyable it was than the usual big thing where people sneakily duck in and out of rooms...

That John Barleycorn song looks scrumptious; I want to get the recording and learn it myself.

That is an extremely intelligent way to do it!

It's posted in my first reply to asakiyume. What else is folk music for?

Yes I saw that, and thanks, but I am not that big on downloading...what is the title of the album, so maybe I can seek out an actual recording?

Gordon Bok, Ann Mayo Muir, and Ed Trickett's And So Will We Yet (1990).
