    I’m teaching a literature tutorial this spring, and in our final class on poetry, I made my students read some speculative poetry.

    More publication news, yay! My poem “Storm-yarn” is forthcoming in Issue 9 of the lovely inkscrawl, guest-edited by Bogi Takács. I’m really happy with this! “Storm-yarn” is a recent poem but based on an old story idea that never went anywhere. Worked out in poem form at least. 🙂

    inkscrawl is a delightful online publication dedicated to minimalist speculative poetry. The poems in it never fail to delight, and since I loved the newest issue (#7), I wanted to give it a shout-out. Poems I especially enjoyed (but please do read the whole issue – it sings so well as a collection): Queen of…

    It’s half past midnight; I should be in bed. I can never manage this go-to-sleep early thing, even on work nights… *sigh* But before I rush off to brush my teeth and do my physiotherapy exercises (for my neck/back), a quick rec: inkscrawl is a lovely poetry magazine, publishing speculative poetry of ten lines or…
