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! I'm curious about your poem now :) and the magazine.

Thank you! I can certainly recommend the magazine.

and another, which doesn't actually exist, of one of your poems--a kind of large scroll, shellacked, with the poem written in calligraphy.

That would be lovely. Maybe I should ask Erzebet if it's possible to make real.

For some reason, the poems were left off, trailing into the air.

(I don't know if we could get that effect, though.)
