derecta acie in litore Oceani ac ballistis machinisque dispositis

And this afternoon's mail brought me the first issue of Moral Relativism Magazine, in which my poem "Abite Laeti, Abite Locupletes" appears between thoughts on Susan Bordo and a reprint of Ambrose Bierce. This is an unusual poem for me; it is nonfantastic, political, and one of the best things I think I wrote all last year. The magazine looks terrific, too.
