Live me golden, tell me dark

I got home from seeing Pixar's Coco (2017) at the Capitol with spatch to discover that my poems "די ירושה" and "Shadow-Song" have been accepted by Uncanny Magazine. The title of the former means "The Inheritance" in Yiddish; I wrote it on Erev Rosh Hashanah. The latter is a ghost poem for Elisabeth Hauptmann; I wrote it on a train to New York. I hope to write about Coco because I loved it, with its music and families and its underworld as deep as a cenote and vivid as marigolds, but right now I am just pleased with this much better ending for a day that began with waking from nightmares to migraine.

Given my family background on one side, I really need to learn some Yiddish.

Congratulations! I'm glad the film was good too - and I hope tomorrow (or is it today now? probably today) is a little less on the nightmares and migraine in the first place.

Yay acceptances, boo nightmares and migraines (both of which I also get).

Coco sounds interesting - I'm looking forward to reading your take on it.

Mom and I are planning to take Cal to Coco, if he's still plague-free on Saturday. Good to hear it's worth it.

Congratulations!

And I'm glad to hear that you liked Coco. I'm usually a big fan of Pixar's movies, but the reviews I'd been hearing on this one so far were mostly negative. Well, not negative exactly, but along the lines of 'eh, it's fine'. So I'd considered not bothering, but now I am once again intrigued!

Hooray for poem acceptances! *^^*
