I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle

My poem "Letters for Nereis" is now online at Goblin Fruit, along with some beautiful temptations—an anthology of Persephones, girls with fish for hair, liminal spaces and soul cages and most of all kythiaranos. Thanks to papersky for correcting the rhythm of the last line. And look, it's sunlit outside!

I was enjoying that poem afresh (and thinking again how much I love your poems), and lingering on

an inkwell hermit-housed with anemones
and green as salt

Enjoying kythiaranos's poems very much too--and appreciating how Amal and Jess organized this issue (that's part of the artistry of the magazine).

Ja. I have never thought one of their issues was thin on the ground, but this one is particularly good.

Oh, that one. I do like that one.

I'm very glad!

Yay sunlight!

The icon from Goblin Fruit is reminding me that I never got round to posting about Spiritualis Fornicatio.

Meantime, I feel like I should be wishing you a happy Passover...is there any traditional greeting?

You really should, yeah.

Dunno. My family says, "Happy Passover." I usually hear chag Pesach sameach from people who are more serious about it. And for the last couple of years, Mike has wished me gam lakh a zissen Pesakh, which is Hebrew-Yiddish for a sweet Pesach to you, but that's just him.

A zissen Pesach dir, then! (Hey, it's close to a language I actually speak.) I'll post about the significance of snail shells after Easter.

First of all, nom nom nom nom. Tasty, tasty Goblin Fruit.

Sunlight is important for all that it makes the production bay look like a scene from Cell, I am glad to see it. I am, however, not going to look at that poor horse, because I know he's coming to a bad end.

You have gained about 50 hero points for naming a Kuiper Belt Object.

Tasty, tasty Goblin Fruit.

I know! And once you're hooked, you become not only a dealer, but a contributor. There's no escape.

I think months from now I'm still going to be grinning spontaneously about it. Thank you.
