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. Being the sort of person I am (you can call that mad, or you can call it in love with making things and words), I wrote seven, so that editor Elizabeth Adams could pick one from a group. So this poem is not going to be in

The Never-ending Silk Road
Supposed portrait of Terence via Wikipedia
I'm very glad to see that there is now increased resistance against those who would assert their power by attacking artists of all sorts--visual artists, writers, composers and musicians, choreographers, and more--for what they term "cultural appropriation." This interesting little bit of jargon is, in fact, entirely alien to the world of art. Those

Midori Snyder on "Maze of Blood"
A pre-pub review pilfered from novelist Midori Snyder's In the Labyrinth, a great place in general, and also a great place to find a review of "Maze of Blood," labyrinths and mazes being kindred... Though near the end of the pre-pub period (pub date is September 1), the book is already available.

Strange seas
Kari Cadel photograph, The Glimmerglass Festival
Last week I bought a book of selected poetry by a poet whose work I do not care for--have not cared for it at all for many years, aside from one poem that I think is very good. (Of course, to lodge one poem in the mind is an achievement.)
And once again I am thinking how strange the arts are, that even what one doesn't love can woo. Little
