Ahin vu di benkshaft vet tsien

My poem "Di Vayse Pave" (די ווײַסע פּאַווע) has been accepted by Moral Relativism Magazine. It's the first poem I've finished since my birthday; it is partly in dialogue with Yiddish folksong. The magazine is still reading through the end of the month, too: check out the guidelines. Have you been wrong before?

My poem "Tapping the Vine" has been selected for reprint in the 2011 Dwarf Stars Anthology. I wrote it for time_shark and tithenai and mer_moon published it, so blame them.

Why, yes, I do think I want to read a thought-provoking steampunk mashup of Twelfth Night and The Importance of Being Earnest, thank you.

I wish I had spent the weekend several places elsewhere, but Case Histories was fun.

And you were both missed at the Tempest reading. At least nineweaving got to do a bit of Caliban as a disembodied voice!

Ohhh how wonderful. I am so glad Di Vayse Pave found a home so fast! And we'll be ToC mates in the Dwarf Stars anthology (announcement tomorrow).

Congratulations on the acceptance and the reprint!

I wish you'd been able to spend the weekend elsewhere, also,* but I'm glad there was some pleasant diversion available to you.

*I nearly said "I, too, wish..." but that made me think of creepy badly written novels. Maybe I need to write more Sailor Draka of Gor, to get it out of my system?

Yeah, that's fatal.

Thank you!

Most welcome!

Yeah, that's fatal.

The giant birds are quite absurd
The prose is rotten wood
O Planet Bore, you make me snore
In you there is no good.

(Sorry for the doggerel, but it sort of slipped out.)

Please don't worry--this isn't the poem I'm writing for you.

Thank you! I'm working on looking on the bright side, without the Life of Brian finality . . .
