Rips in the fabric of culture--
Portrait of the artist as flourishing, flowering...Division page image by Clive Hicks-Jenkinsfor my just-out Maze of Blood (Mercer.)With this story, inspired by the lifeof Texas pulp writer Robert E. Howard,I got to revel in the life of someonewho died before I was born, whowas unlike me in almost all ways,save for his love of words.

About that wild plum küchen--
How different his life would have been,if only he had a plentiful supply of küchen...
Perilously few pieces of wild plum küchen remaining in the pottery pan on the kitchen table... Possible conclusions:
1. My husband is a genius of no little moment, as is attested by his wild plum küchen;
2. There still some whipped cream to go on top of küchen;
3. If I wait till afternoon, the küchen may be

Hodgepodge, with medieval prayer-nut
The Annunciation Carved in a Medieval Prayer Nut
Here's one of the poems I wrote for Phoenicia Publishing's Annunciation anthology, forthcoming in the not-too-far-off future.

So this poem is not going to be in
