ana ḫārrani ša alaktaša lā tayyarat

My poem "Cuneiform Toast" is now online at the new electronic Mythic Delirium. Its inspirations are mostly explained by the author's notes, but it takes its name from these earrings by elisem and it is not a ghost poem. I don't know how its subject feels about cats.

This has been a devastating week. Last week wasn't so hot either. This has been an incredibly mixed month.

I love that poem.

(And also your current music.)

Thank you. I was glad to read it at Readercon.

(And also your current music.)

(It is very excellent music. Was it written entirely by the band, or is it a setting of someone else's text? I've been able to track down very little about it online, I suspect because I cannot search effectively in Russian.)

It's been written by the band, though it's one of their early songs; I'm unable to find whether it's written by Helavisa herself, or by a different member of the band. Helavisa is a celtologist (she's working on Old Irish if memory seves) and writes most, though not all of the songs.

If you'd like, I can post some more songs :) :)
