Dare I declare this morning love turned evening deep?

For some good news at the start of a cold month—

You may remember that back in May I had the pleasure of announcing that erzebet had accepted the four fisherangel poems—variously written by seajules, asakiyume, cucumberseed, and me with the common inspiration of Lal Waterson's "Midnight Feast"—for handbound publication as a miniature from Papaveria Press. My contribution was "The Coast Guard," originally of Sirenia Digest and one of the best poems I think I have written. nineweaving subsequently offered to write an introduction.

Erzebet offers more details here.

This is going to be such a beautiful book. As they say, watch this space.

If you'd be willing to give me links to two recent stories and say one poem for starters, that would be great; with thanks.

I think it will be simplest if I send you stories over e-mail—a link I was going to post from last year has just been flagged as malware by Safari and Firefox—but to make up too much for them in the meantime, some poems from earlier this year are "Amal and the Night Visitors" (for tithenai), "Migration," "Fjöturlundr (Saturnian)," "Madonna of the Cave," "The Chymical Marriage," "Anthology," and "Phersu" (currently on paper in Not One of Us #42.) I generally do an end-of-the-year roundup of publications toward the end of December, so others will be included. Hope you enjoy.

Thank you for these; I will read all of them. And I would welcome stories via email whenever you are ready to send some.

(Also, I just got the new corrected Criterion edition of The Seventh Seal -- thanks for alerting me to it.)
