1. My poem "Gorgoneion" has been accepted by The Cascadia Subduction Zone. It was written a few nights ago, after discovering this statue. It's a prayer.

2. All that stuff I mentioned about Uncanny Magazine yesterday? It's live! Enjoy!

3. Strange Horizons Fund Drive! Less than two weeks to go and we haven't even unlocked Rose Lemberg and Emily Jiang's musical collaboration. Doesn't anyone other than me want to read a new novella by Ann Leckie set in the Radch-verse?

Some kind stranger who is almost certainly yhlee sent me a copy of Roger Zelazny's Creatures of Light and Darkness (1969)! I can't tell anything about it from the back-cover text at all. I am looking forward.

Congrats on the poem!

And yes, that was me with the book. I hope you enjoy it (or, alternately, find enjoyable snark in it, whatever happens).

If you haven't read that before, have you at least encountered the Possibly Proper Death Litany?

Congratulations on the poem acceptance!

I'm looking forward to reading Uncanny Magazine!

Well done! May the rest of November be creative for you. I'm looking forward to Uncanny.

I've never even heard of that particular Zelazny! *looks it up*

Oh my God, Creatures of Light and Darkness! That and Silverberg's Thorns were my models of what an "adult" book should be, growing up, which probably explains a lot.

Did you see that Somerville is taking applications for a Poet Laureate (http://www.somervilleartscouncil.org/poetlaureate)?

I've got Uncanny Magazine in a tab but still haven't had a chance to look at more than the intro
-_-

Congratulations on the acceptances!
