A new issue of inkscrawl is up. It includes, among other marvels, my little poem Iron Search, which was loosely inspired by an Italian fairy tale, adapted for children, where the lovely and justly furious fairy Colina tells Lionbruno that he will not see her again until he has worn out seven pairs of iron shoes in his search. I thought that was terribly unfair, and it eventually seeped out into this poem.
Enjoy! And take a look at the other poems while you're there.
That little jewel of a poetry zine, inkscrawl, just went up today, with little poetic gems from such marvelous poets as Ann K. Schwader, Kristine Ong Muslim, Alexandra Seidel, Mike Allen, and, well, yes me. Enjoy -- and much thanks to Samantha Henderson and Rose Lemberg for all of their work in bringing this zine back to life.
Two completely unrelated bits of news before I head out on today's expedition:
1) Rose Lemberg is bringing back inkscrawl, that beautiful little zine devoted to tiny bits of speculative beauty, under the editorship of Samantha Henderson. You can read more about this here.
Oh, and while I'm thinking about that, if you have a spare moment or so, you might just want to head over to Google Maps and request directions for walking to Mordor. You'll find them helpful.
