But meanwhile my Margarita is roaming through my mind, and the cat, and flying

Have a short interview with me at Stone Telling! I talk about my poem "A Bulgakov Headache" and the reasons I will never make coffee syrup in my kitchen again.

Yesterday we took my parents to the Museum of Modern Renaissance for Somerville Open Studios and got an unexpected concert: a woman with a guitar, singing in Russian. I couldn't tell if they were her own songs or not. One was a poem by Yevtushenko. Her voice had the '60's folk vibrato I associate with Joan Baez and Judy Collins. The sun clouded and brightened through the windows, making green and lavender patches on the polished floor. That hall still contains one of the best mermaids I've seen painted.

Today is mostly work, although in the evening derspatchel and I have reservations at Tryst, because we've been married for five months and we can do that.

darkforge and I still celebrate a mensiversary, most months (though during the era of small child underfoot, sometimes it has been fancy take-out eaten at home). It's been about nine years since we began dating.

Do you have a favorite Master and Margarita translation? I read it some years back (and still have my copy) and was underwhelmed, but I suspect the blame goes to uninspired English-language prose devoid of both energy and nuance.

Nice interview!

The museum sounds fascinating and the concert lovely.

I hope the dinner has been delicious.

A tryst at a place called Tryst--nice. Happy five months!

I like this series of interviews--yours is lovely!

And wow, I must see the Museum of Modern Renaissance next time I'm in the area. Maybe I'll make it a deliberate thing and bring the healing angel on grounds of art and edification.
