Drink from the river and find your way to me

Rabbit, rabbit!

My poem "Anybody That Looked Like That" has been accepted by Not One of Us. It was directly inspired by Stranger on the Third Floor (1940), especially the characters played by Elisha Cook, Jr. and Peter Lorre. I thought about scapegoats.

Because it is January, I am now editor on duty for the poetry department at Strange Horizons. Send me your poems, in all their voices! I will be reading through February.

2016 so far involves a heinous sore throat, but otherwise I'll take it.

I survived 2015. I will survive even this.

Poem: Whooo! Throat: Aw.

Thank you! I am telling myself it will not be a microcosm of the year. 2015 was a lot of "Aw." I'd like more "Whooo!", if I can get it.

Congratulations on the poetry sale! I hope the sore throat goes away soonest.

Congratulations! I have a poem in mind to send there myself if I can manage to find a copy. (It's mysteriously disappeared, even the e-copies. I know I have a hard copy around here somewhere...)

Thanks! And ironically, the title includes the word "Disappearing".
