The whisper of Lilith on the wind

[sovay]

Some of you may remember my poem "Postscripts from the Red Sea," originally published in Goblin Fruit #6. It is now available from Papaveria Press in a limited handbound edition, demon-red and black:



The copies are each perfect bound in red Japanese paper with black cloth on the spine which has been reinforced with red ribbon from the binder's wedding bouquet. Go; look. Take one home. (Do not leave it before uncovered mirrors.) erzebet has made something beautiful of my words.

You will have to discover her name.

Your words are already beautiful, but she has definitely added a whole level of richness and wonder.

Wow. That's really beautiful.

Will email you back about more quotidian but no less fabulous prospect of your travel.

I love the idea of having lines separated by pages, because that's how I tend to want to read your poems, lingering on the lines.

I'm going to pop over to her site and take a further look. If I'm able to purchase it, I'm going to feel a bit like a glutton.

It makes me happy.

Her books are amazing. Sometimes they look like things I dream.

[sovay]

If I'm able to purchase it, I'm going to feel a bit like a glutton.

Perhaps, but I appreciate it!

And I think her books are always worth owning. I have several myself.

Congratulations, as ever, Sonya.

Thank you!

Hail Lilith.

That should be the next name in your flock . . .

[sovay]

I am feeling book envy.

Heh. Thank you. You should talk to Erzebet!

[sovay]

Oh, that's beautiful!

I like it!

YOU COULD BRING GREER GILMAN.

[sovay]

That is so awesome.

It is definitely going to make my week.

And I seriously approve your music.

I have someone to thank for it!

Do you think she'd do a very special edition of, like, a chapter of A Verse from Babylon?

Hee!

[sovay]

Do you think she'd do a very special edition of, like, a chapter of A Verse from Babylon?

I am totally going to ask right now, because that would be perfect.

[sovay]

So pretty!

I know! Her work is consistently gorgeous; and I'm not even talking about her own poems.

[nineweaving.livejournal.com]

Aw gee. She'd love to see you, and hopes you may come to Readercon?
