With night at his back, his face always toward the dawn

1. Edward Petherbridge hath a blog. I have been reading it delightedly since January, but realized last night that I had completely forgotten to share with the rest of the internet. It is marvelous. Did Will, walking on Bankside, put his arm round a boy actor's shoulder and tell him stories of cats?

2. My poem "By the Dog" is now online at The Pedestal Magazine. It was written for Audrey Joyce McGurrin, who at four years old is already explaining sarcophagi and mummification to the rest of her daycare. Her cult title for Anubis is my puppy.

3. Did you know the state rock of Massachusetts was the Roxbury Conglomerate? I am entertained by this. It sounds so deadeningly financial.

4. Today is furniture moving.

I always thought Pretty Susy was kind of a bint and not worth ending up in a ballad over, but I am THRILLED that there is a band called The Owl Service.

I think you should do a post devoted to the miracle that is The Owl Service [disambiguation: band]

Your remark on Roxbury Conglomerate made me laugh :D

---congrats again on placing that lovely poem in such a great zine.

Re subject: I love that line.

I can't recall: have we talked about Edward Petherbridge as Wimsey? Because I may have grown up with Ian Carmichael, but Petherbridge seemed to me to pin Wimsey, face and voice and all...

Your poem, I won't pretend to understand it, but it's wonderful, again and again and again wonderful.

I'd never heard of Edward Petherbridge before, but I like his blog, from the bit I skimmed of it just now. I'll have to read more of it when I'm done with the piece I'm writing the now. Thank you for the sharing of it.

Delighted to see your poem online.

The name of the state rock is amusing, although I'm oldfashioned enough to prefer "puddingstone". I wish they'd say when said stone was named to its exalted position.

Good luck with the furniture moving. I hope all goes very well.

Roxbury Conglomerate eh? Well its not the prettiest rock, but its *our* rock.

Roxbury Conglomerate sounds a lot more appealing when it's called Puddingstone...
