I had the brilliant idea of moving house during midterms, you see, and the entire rest of life fell by the wayside. Not recommended.

For certain recommended is the Hope issue of Stone Telling, in which you'll find a well-aged dragon curling her way through her "Serpentiority" in prose-poem form. The publication's going on hiatus for a bit, so I ( Read more... )

Daily Science Fiction has accepted my flash piece, "Incarnadine," not to be confused with the self-pubbed poem of the same title (what can I say, it worked too well not to use again).

I can't believe I keep forgetting to share this link, but when she learned that I was taking Shakespeare this term, Eliza hooked me up with the youtube version of a show she'd seen in London: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged). It's difficult to pick out a favorite bit, though as we're currently wading through Hamlet in the ( Read more... )

Oh, but I am leaning toward the Scottish Play for my final paper, even though I was determined before starting the course that I would choose one of the less-overexposed plays. It's just. It's my favorite. Always has been. And in this particular group of classmates, I can be fairly certain it's not one anyone else is doing (well, except maybe ( Read more... )

I'm in my week between terms. Next term I'll at last be taking my Shakespeare course, though that's a mixed blessing. We'll be reading Midsummer Night's Dream, the pernicious Hamlet, and, for my sins, Richard III. I console myself that at least it's not Romeo and Juliet. Or Titus, good god ( Read more... )

Details on how to subscribe or obtain single issues hereOnline ( Read more... )

"Singular" in fact finds fine company in a future issue of inkscrawl. And the poem formerly known as "Dragon Age" gives away no more secrets than gold under a new title in a forthcoming issue of Stone Telling.

Despite the cold, the Year of the Ram is thus far being very good to me.

Another Tumblr post, plus a note to self to post at the blog about my folkloric video library, plus copy the reviews from here to the Resources page over there. But that will have to wait until after this migraine has passed.

After initially thinking I would create a Youtube channel as part of the author website, I learned that Tumblr allows one to upload straight mp3s. Since I did not want to upload videos, but rather recorded readings of some of my work, that seemed a better fit. Thus, Thoughts tumbling like vines, with an inaugural post of a reading of "Warning ( Read more... )

Today's blog post is an article I wrote for the HWA newsletter back in early 2009. It's about building a sense of dread in horror poetry through the use of repetition ( Read more... )
