Running through the underworld into your room

[sovay]

My poem "By the Dog," written for an Egyptology-minded four-year-old I know, has been accepted by The Pedestal Magazine.

One may now purchase copies of Hidden, the latest annual not-Not One of Us publication; it contains my poem "Anakatabasis," as well as Patricia Russo's "Hey," Meredith Roe's "Gabriel," Erik Amundsen's "Strawberry Ghoul," David Kopaska-Merkel's "Death Dreams," and other apocrypha.

(I think I got cucumberseed's dreams last night. I woke up with the line, The mulberry king led his people through the winter hedges, like a bird's breadcrumb trail of refugees. It is exactly what I watched happen in the dream; I wrote it down on an envelope and fell back asleep and dreamed of a museum full of guitars, musical impersonators, and gilded bracken. No idea who that one was supposed to go to.)

I had dinner with sigerson and sen_no_ongaku. They had made chicken-carrot coconut soup and fresh bread; I brought eggnog cake. A good time was had by all, I think including the cat.

R.I.P., Howard Zinn.

When I first saw the title of this post, I automatically finished it in my head before I finished reading it.

My version was, "Running through the underworld in your underwear".

I think this speaks rather eloquently as to the differences between your poetically beautiful way of expressing yourself and my rather silly ways of expressing myself. ;)

PS: The above icon is from the show Wonderfalls, which had Lee Pace from Pushing Daisies in it. I think you would like it, if you don't already. :D Not as wonderful as PD, but pretty dang good.

Hey, I was quoting Tori Amos anyway . . .

So noted. I haven't yet seen Wonderfalls, but you're not the first person to recommend it to me; I loved Pushing Daisies.

I loved Pushing Daisies.

Yis, I knew that from the panel we were on together at Arisia 2009, hence why I suddenly thought to recommend Wonderfalls. :)
