Electric Velocipede...

... has a relaunched website, as part of the transition from print to online zine. And John Klima has started posting some fiction flashbacks, one being to my very own "The Chiaroscurist." Quoth John:Many years ago, in 2004, I got annoyed with a spelling bee. It was what the bee used when a contestant asked for the word to be used in a sentence: "the autochthonal fauna of Australia includes the

The Behold of the Eye / Oka Wejrzenie

Obrazy ich Pragnienia– Oka Wejrzenie – powiedziała Flashjackowi wnuczka brata jego dziadka (przybrana), Pebbleskip – to miejsce, w którym ludzie przechowują Obrazy swojego Pragnienia, czyli wszystkie rzeczy, na których najbardziej im zależy, na widok których odebrało im mowę. Na przykład malowidło czy rzeźbę, skrzynię pełną złota i klejnotów, albo walizkę pełną tysiąc-jakichkolwiek banknotów

An Interview, Elsewhere

Bartosz Szczyżański: Jak ważną rolę w twoich tekstach odgrywa kompozycja? Zarówno w Welinie, jak i w Atramencie budowa cechowała się dużą regularnością, bez mała matematyczną precyzją. Taki rygor pomaga czy raczej przeszkadza w pisaniu?Hal Duncan: Tak, uważam swoje kreacje za obłożone wieloma formalnymi ograniczeniami. W Welinie oraz Atramencie regularność była odbiciem konceptu Księgi wszystkich

Coming Soon...

This is the cover for the poetry collection coming from Papaveria in July, in a nice paperback edition that won't break the bank. Contains Sonnets for Orpheus, The Lucifer Cantos and more... such as the somewhat ribald (i.e. downright filthy) Sonnets for Kouroi Old and New, for example, which some of you Glaswegians out there may have seen me perform in various venues.

Dni Fantastyki

Just a quick note to let any Polish readers out there know that I'll be over at Dni Fantastyki in Wroclaw, 24th-26th June. Don't know what my schedule is yet, but look for me wherever the beer is at. Or the Żubrówka vodka. Mmmmm, bison grass.

New Notes from New Sodom Column

So the 21st of May came and went without a whiff of the Rapture, nary a hint of Moby Douche, the Great White Fail, breaching the firmament above. No star called Wormwood fallen from the sky, turning a third of the waters to tasty absinthe. No angels treading the wine gums of the wrath of the Lord. Not a peep of New Jerusalem on the early warning radar. Instead here we are, still in New Sodom,
