Rabbit, rabbit.
My poem "In Conclusion" has been nominated for the 2015 Dwarf Stars Award.
Last night I dreamed of reading a very short story with pen-and-ink illustrations in sand-gold and sea-green; it was an excerpt from a larger graphic novel about mermaids the size of reefs and atolls. Spells were ordinary words spoken backward. I knew even in the dream that I'd seen that conceit first in the work of Patricia McKillip, especially The Book of Atrix Wolfe (1995), but I liked the line "All magic is written in a mirror."
Happy birthday,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I have no doubt! I just read The Book of Atrix Wolfe at least five years before I encountered Zatara and Zatanna in Neil Gaiman's The Books of Magic (1993), so McKillip is my first association with the technique.
