I'll sing my hands out of the earth and call them to me

A copy of Mythic Delirium #20 has just arrived at the house. Technically it belongs to my mother, since the subscribers' copies went out before the contributors'. Nevertheless, I am going to steal it and read it, trout hearts by Neil Gaiman, hand-inked illustration, epic table of contents and all. My poem "Zeitgeber" is in there, too. I've been in sixteen issues of Mythic Delirium. I owe hekatombs to [livejournal.com profile] time_shark: not for taking the poems, but for providing somewhere so neat for them to go, all the roots and freewheeling the title implies. Here's to the next ten years.

"Madonna of the Cave" has been accepted by [livejournal.com profile] ericmarin for Lone Star Stories. It is sort of the poem about golems [livejournal.com profile] handful_ofdust prompted me to write, sort of pieces of other things, like Lilith. (Speaking of whom, both [livejournal.com profile] erzebet and [livejournal.com profile] tithenai inform me that the miniature book of "Postscripts from the Red Sea" will very soon be available. I have even seen photographic evidence. Watch this, er, parenthesis.)

J.G. Ballard. His memory for the strangest of blessings.

Hurrah for the new copy. Enjoy! And congratulations, and on the new acceptance as well.

J.G. Ballard. His memory for the strangest of blessings.

That says it nicely, I think. Amen.

You're very welcome. And you deserve to be therein.
