Makht a brokher afn gantsn land

My poem "Shnirele, Perele" is now online at Stone Telling #4, guest-edited by seajules and shweta_narayan. It was written for rose_lemberg; it takes its title from the Chasidic song and is beautifully illustrated with the violinist from Luminescent Orchestrii. Selfishly, I would also point you in the direction of strange_selkie's "Bacab Skerry," which she wrote out of a dream of me and a rain-god, but it looks like a gorgeous issue overall. Excuse me while I ignore the bits of the internet that aren't poems, liminal and labyrinthine.

Beautiful poem! I love "Pomegranates bloom in the open streets
like graffiti."

I'm biased, but I love it with so much love. Was thinking about it a lot when I was in Jerusalem.

more squee!

I love the interconnections between these poems! And the part where Bacab Skerry was from a dream about you - that's where they start getting outright magical.

So squeeful! And the dream connections and conversation connections are delighting me, like we really are uncovering an entire secret network.

I have to admit, one of my first reactions was, This would make a great story! I hope you will consider it. I would dearly love to read it.
