Power, Ino and Aoife's Kiss
Did I mention that this is a slightly busy publication date? Apologies for the multiple posts, but I'm just putting them up as they hit me.
I'm delighted to say that Aoife's Kiss has just published two of my poems: Power, in the online edition, and "Ino," in the print edition, which is apparently for sale here.
In this case, I'm delighted because these two poems come from two intertwined collections I've been building, bit by bit, over the past couple of years, Songs of the Wanderer and the "I need to find another title why are titles so hard for me" tentatively titled Helen, the first a retelling of The Odyssey, the second inspired by (I had said, "based on," but it's gone beyond that now) The Iliad and other myths. You might remember "Waiting," published at OG's Speculative Fiction last year, from the first collection.
I probably won't be publishing too many of the poems from these two collections individually, since I've realized that many of them don't read well as individual poems, created as they were as parts forming a whole. ("Ino," which is one of the first of these to be written, is a slight exception here, since it wasn't until slightly later that I realized what I was writing -- "Power," however, was written when I realized I did have two closely linked collections coming together.)
And with that, I think that's it for today's publications, although I make no promises about tomorrow.
