Purgatory is open today

[sovay]

My poem "Cemetery Theater" has been accepted by Not One of Us. It is based on a dream I had three nights ago, of Death and late-night stage sets.

There have been some minor changes to my Readercon schedule, which I will note later. I am on the second day of epic housecleaning. I was going to write that you cannot possibly imagine how much I loathe it, but you probably can, if you are the owner of a summer kitchen who has just discovered that mice have been living in their stove.

It must be great to have the poem accepted so soon after writing it, especially given the doubts you were experiencing -- if I had that many great venues (or any, really) that were as supportive of my work as you have of yours, I think I would write a lot more. It seems to me that you richly deserve such support; I expect and hope it will only grow. More power to you.

I would guess the only great thing about evicting mice from such a home would be finishing the job; hope it goes as well as can be.
