The river, where she sleeps

And probably because I spent yesterday at a parade, I fell over before one in the morning and slept for something like nine hours. I remember dreaming, about classes I never took. (Even in my dreams there were improbable connections between people I didn't think knew one another.) Waiting in my e-mail when I woke up was a contributor's copy of The Cascadia Subduction Zone, containing my poem "Ortygia to Trimountaine." It is about Boston landmarks and the nymph Arethousa; it was sparked by a late-night exchange with [livejournal.com profile] asakiyume and I hold [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel accountable as presiding muse. They're a new market for me. Print and electronic editions can be ordered here; all issues become freely available online six months after publication, meaning that you can now (if you didn't when I yelled about them in April) read Amal El-Mohtar's astonishing review of A Mayse-Bikhl and Rachel Swirsky's of The Moment of Change. It's a beautifully put together magazine. There may be more content here later, but right now you just get an eighteenth-century lion.

Sovay, do you have a tumblr?

(glad this poem is out in the world!)

... I still need to come back and comment on the last entry. I dreamed about it, even.

No, why?

A number of things you've discovered, or had brought to your attention, came from tumblr--but maybe by way of [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel, in which case, maybe *he* has a tumblr.

If you had one, I would follow it. (Sadly, someone else has the blog name "sovay" on tumblr--I checked.) Perhaps I will go see if [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel has one under that name.

Thank you

You're welcome!
