1. My poem "Gorgoneion" is now available in the latest issue of The Cascadia Subduction Zone. It's been available for a little while, but my e-mail didn't feel like letting me know. It's a prayer. I wrote it after seeing this statue. This one is also in there.
2. There are less than eighteen hours left on the Kickstarter for Joanne Merriam's How to Live on Other Planets: A Handbook for Aspiring Aliens. My poem "Di Vayse Pave" (Moral Relativism Magazine #3) is reprinted therein, along with amazing work from Zen Cho, Rose Lemberg, Alex Dally MacFarlane, Bogi Takács, Bryan Thao Worra, and many, many others. Please check it out and kick in a few dollars! The stretch goal is a print run rather than Amazon print-on-demand and I am all for it.

We put our coats down on the floor at the back of the theater, sat down with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
derspatchel's backpack between us, and watched. It was worth it. All hundred and fifty minutes. My neck thinks I want at least a chair the next time, though.
