writing from the second story

Goblin Fruit on your nightstand

February 16th 2007 in News

What comes to mind when you think of Goblin Fruit? There’s a newish ,(April 2006), e-zine that features poems, stories and art of the fantastic. http://www.goblinfruit.net/ If you’re a fan of fantasy, magical realism and wonder, check it out. Two of my poems, Cheshire and Selkie will be appearing there in future issues.

This website has a new look and is still in process. Hopefully it will be more dynamic soon thanks to my Grand Webmaster– that’s an official title like Grand PoohBah and comes with little pay, but lots of gratitude, and free food. 

 So while we’re under construction, let’s chat about what’s on our nightstands or on the floor by our beds.  I know you all are librocubicularrii! I am reading The History of Love again, and appreciating it even more the second time through. The first time I tend to gulp books down, and the second, if they make it to a second read, is the time for appreciating all the craft. And The History of Love is elegant. I love the characters. I love the way the author slips from one voice to another, and from one time period to another, and then brings them all together in the end.  The newest Tony Hillerman beckons-love a good mystery, and that’s only the top of the stack.

So, friends, what’s on your nightstand this week?

Bone Structure
 
The shape of bones beneath the skin,
white winged clavicle, curve
of metatarsal arch, an alabaster span,
the fine intrigue of hands,
twenty-seven bones, splayed
as the sycamore in winter
against a soft edged sky,
visible [...]
