Sale!

I sold a prose poem, "Three Letters to the Prince of Falling Leaves," to the Star*Line prose poetry volume.

Specifically, I sold it to Bruce Boston, the grandmaster of sf poetry, which is kind of mind-boggling. He said it was a beautiful poem and he invites me to submit "regular poetry" to Star*Line.

...I guess that means I should probably learn how to write some.

Cantarella 9, by You Higuri

In which there is eye loss, incest, and a cameo by Michelangelo.

I was positive that Mothiavelli was going to advise Chiaro to save Cesare’s soul by seducing him, but it turned out that he meant Chiaro should save Cesare’s soul by killing him. I could say something about the little death and penetration by phallic swords, but really, why bother? As long as manga lives, Freud is not dead.

( I lost an eye and all I have to show for it is this deformed baroque pearl. )
