Ideomancer, March 2011
Mar. 2nd, 2011 05:23 pmSo, yay, the March 2011 issue of Ideomancer is out, not, ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cristalia and stillnotbored, that I've been aggressively checking the site for this or anything.
Along with some outstanding fiction by Sandra M. Odell, Emily Skaftun and Su-Yee Lin, this particular issue happens to have me as a featured poet, which means that you get not one, but three poems by me, plus an interview where I explain the travails of being a seven year old poet. (It was all very sad.).
The poems are Nile Song, Soul Streets and Grandma and the Puka.
A quick note on "Soul Streets": this poem is pretty much the same as it was in its original draft (which doesn't always happen to me with poems) with one exception: in the original draft I wrote "trikes" instead of "bikes," because, well, I ride a trike. When I got ready to send the poem out, I hesitated, and then changed the word to bikes, on the basis that the city referred to in the poem has far more bike users than trike users. When the proofs came over, I almost asked to have the word changed back again; my fingers actually itched, but I left it as bikes.
I'm still a bit uncertain.
