They also say that I bring back the past
My poems "Settling Accounts" and "Trying for It," otherwise known as the poem I wrote for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
asakiyume on the spring full moon of Nisan and the poem I wrote for Thomas Andrews on the centenary of the Titanic, have been accepted by The Revelator, where my Lovecraft poem "Being Providence" has already found a home. I hadn't intended for them to be published as a sort of gerund triptych, but I'm really not going to complain now that it's happening. The editors suggest a new poetic form: the tri-Taaffe. I should let them collage all my work.
Discovered last night: John Coulthart's "S. Latitude 47° 9', W. Longitude 126° 43'." I really want a print. I wonder if I can get it without buying the calendar. Apparently I should read more William Hope Hodgson.

Have you read Couthart's graphic version of The Call? Awesome. Also, what Hodgson have you read?

I've read some; I suspect I just haven't read The Ghost Pirates!

Thank you!

All right; it's on the list! The HPLHS film was my first encounter with any adaptation, actually.
Also, what Hodgson have you read?
The House on the Borderland (thanks to

Also, as part of the Stone Telling team, I protest this notion of letting another venue do anything at all with all of your poems! :P

I can see why you do. I wish I had an answer for you.

Looks as if a fair amount of his work is available on Gutenberg and the like, so it appears you're in luck if you should wish to do so.

I'm very mixed about The Night Land. On the one hand it's badly written dreck, but the premise is pretty damn awe-inspiring. Hodgson was pen-friends with Wells and I can't help wondering if the dying Earth scenes in Time Machine influenced W. H.

That is very useful to know. And it doesn't look like a bad edition, either. Thank you!
(Wait, how did I miss he was killed at Ypres in World War I? I wonder if I was mentally confusing him with David Lindsay, who died in the next war. This is like finding out this afternoon that Thomas Tryon—whom I associate with B-movies like I Married a Monster from Outer Space (1958)—is in fact best-known as a novelist. Thank you, brain. Someday you will store information helpfully and everyone will be surprised.)

Heh. I didn't give them exclusive publication, just first refusal rights on mash-ups!

It does look like it has tentacles.

It's such a weird book. Far-future alien is an almost impossible genre to do well: even Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun is a lot less strange conceptually than in its language. I haven't read The Night Land since college, but I remember it being full of really impressive WTF. And, yes. It's writing on geologic time.

If so, major points for outweirding his influences.

I'll watch the artist's CafePress. With any luck, there'll be a poster.

Mmm. Giant cephalopod.

Thank you! I think I am a featured poet. That's happened to me once.
Mmm. Giant cephalopod.
Giant cephalopod depicted as in a newspaper from 1925. (Okay, it's a bit woodcut-y for 1925, but I don't want to quibble. It's not like anyone had a Leica in the night-lost middle of the Pacific, forsaken by all but the wrong gods.) There are so many things I like about that.
The rest of the calendar is up!

Poem, story, please thank you.
That's a gorgeous illustration. Although the artist's other work seems to indicate a slight obsession with tentacles.
and excellent news of the tri-Taaffic triptych-triumvirate triumph!

. . . I will see what I can do!

I think it comes with the territory, Lovecraft country (even if it originated with Hodgson). I'm not going to object. Cuttlefish are beautiful creations.

Hee! Thank you!

I am now seeing someone in the prow of a boat snapping away at a Leica while a giant cephalopod looms dangerously over... My husband has a Leica, though he would not be at sea; more likely to be camped out in his darkroom.
