I forgot about Klas Östergren when I made that total: although I didn't fall in love with The Hurricane Party (2007), I feel much more warmly toward it than any of Neil Gaiman's treatments of the same story. I'm sure I've encountered other poems here and there. I'm probably even forgetting some short fiction. But really, non-reductive Norse myth is thin on the ground.
I've always felt your poems showed respect, even as you let your imagination range.
Thank you. I am glad to hear that. It matters to me.

It seems to be well-written, so I won't complain.
Who are the four authors who don't annoy you on Norse myth?
Diana Wynne Jones, Eight Days of Luke (1975).
A.S. Byatt, Ragnarok (2011).
Gemma Files, "Lie-Father" (2011).
Michele Bannister, "Loki, Dynamicist" (2012).
