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.

Congratulations on the sale.

Thank you. I am pleased with it.

You should check out the guidelines for the next issue. The reading period is open until May.

I have, and thank you for the suggestion. I shall think on the topic.

In the meantime, I respond with a small gift in the form of recommended reading. Do you know The Magus by John Fowles? Chapter 53 (Ελευθερία) can be read as a discrete short story and is of especial relevance to the question at hand.

I have read The Magus, but not in years; I'll give it a re-read. Thanks!
