When the ocean met the sky

[sovay]

If you have a subscription to Sirenia Digest, then you already have this month's issue with my poem "Drowning Like You Mean It"—by request from strange_selkie, one of the best pieces I have written about the sea—and two very different pieces of science fiction by greygirlbeast, the Orpheus Mars of "Slouching Towards the House of Glass Coffins" and the alien molly house of "Untitled 13."

If you don't, what are you doing still reading this page? Seriously.

I am going tonight to see Sholem Aleichem: Laughing in the Darkness (2011) at the Coolidge Corner Theatre. I have three books by him, in Yiddish, still on my shelves. I did not pack them away.

I am strongly partial to "Eelgrass and Blue," when it comes to you and the sea; but it is always incredible when you turn new images up to the light, and when this one has been with me as long I suspect I will love it the same. I am very, very glad it's in good company.

And good on you for snaring the Sholem Aleichem tix in what looks like the nick of time?

Lovely, on all counts.

the Orpheus Mars of "Slouching Towards the House of Glass Coffins"

Wow. Yes. I didn't even see that.

And thank you again for the poem. I'd take one every month, if you'd send it. Now, by the way, I need to say you.

Congratulations on the Sirenia Digest.

The Sholem Aleichem film sounds brilliant. I hope you've very much enjoyed it.
