What's in your fist? What's in your head? What's in your eyes? What's in your bed?

I slept almost nine hours last night. The night before that, almost eight. Following a week of staggering exhaustion, it feels somewhat miraculous. Then of course I spent almost all of today out of the house and away from my computer, therefore have written nothing on any of the topics I was holding off until I had more brain for.

My poems "A Death of Hippolytos" and "The Other Lives" are now available in the latest issue of The Cascadia Subduction Zone. The first was a consequence of Jules Dassin's Phaedra (1962); the second was written for [livejournal.com profile] rose_lemberg after a discussion of different reactions to Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness (1969). I am delighted that they appear alongside a poem of [livejournal.com profile] gwynnega's about Una O'Connor and an article in praise of Elisabeth Sanxay Holding.

Speaking of, I am really enjoying these collected novels of Ross Macdonald. I didn't know until I saw his non-pseudonymous last name that he was married to Margaret Millar, whom I already knew I found interesting. It's just as well that I have set aside an entire set of shelves for pulp, noir, and suspense fiction. I don't foresee this interest diminishing any time soon.
