I'm living for the day of reckoning

[sovay]

I am behind on posting. I always am. I have a pile of mostly book reviews, I haven't mentioned the Macbeth reading on Sunday (for which I was deputized at two in the morning the night before to read Lady Macbeth in Acts I and II), and I really need to devote time to Trevor Nunn's The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby (1982), the first four hours of which we watched tonight at Eric's; it is magnificent. Unfortunately for fans of culture, I'm going to self-aggrandize instead. Blame lesser_celery. He put up this year's additions to his resume; I must perpetuate the meme.

Man, I title a lot of stuff in Greek.

Will there be another book? They're amazing poetry, and I'd love them all in one place, to reread.

I was going to ask the same question. She's certainly producing enough volume for another one.

I'm still hoping for a volume of Classical-themed work. Mostly so that I can buy my eccentric High School English teacher a copy, and decide afterwards whether this counts as marketing, peace offering, or practical joke.

. . . You know, I'd completely support that.

Find me a publisher and I'll see what I can do . . .

And that's just a fraction of why you're so damn awesome. ;-)

[cucumberseed.livejournal.com]

THIS.

Thank you . . .

I very much appreciate your doing this! I wanted to remember precisely this--much easier to have you do it for me :-)

Heh. You're welcome. I'll probably be re-linking it in a few weeks when the Rhysling nominations open, since that seems to be common practice nowadays.

"What part of ὡς πολλοῖς ὄμμασιν εἰς σὲ βλέπω don't you understand!?"

Impressive! The Greek titles I admit I slide over - it's caviar to the οἱ πολλοί - but I second nineweaving's call for a slim vol!

*snerk*

but I second nineweaving's call for a slim vol!

Thank you. I would be okay with it myself!

[clarionj.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the list and the links! I will be rereading. And congratulations on a fine year of publishing.

(I'm with nineweaving--another collection any time soon?)

Not immediately, but I will keep everyone posted should that change.

At this rate you can soon have a volume of Greek-titled poems.

Somehow, that's really tempting.

Meh, I am equally behind in posting, and have far less excuse.

PS: ὀσμὴ βροτείων αἱμάτων με προσγελᾷ ?

ὀσμὴ βροτείων αἱμάτων με προσγελᾷ

"The smell of human blood smiles to me." It is a line spoken by the Furies, against whom the poem is an incantation.

I realize this hasn't been the best year in other ways, but it seems to me excellently prolific. Go, you!

Well, you, too!

I've not said it apparently, but I'm procrastinating writing a cover letter so I'll say it the now.

Well done! And the titling in Greek does add a certain je ne sais quoi to the poems, as well as to your publications list.
