Directions to the Palace: Seek out Giacometti’s “The Palace at 4 a.m.” Go back precisely two hours. See towers and curtain walls of matchsticks, marble, marbles, light, cloud at stasis. Walk in. The beggar queen is dreaming on her throne of words… Welcome. You have arrived at the web home of Marly Youmans, maker of novels, poetry collections, and stories, as well as the occasional fantasy for younger readers.
Mmmm, evocative images, Marly. Reminds me a little of Val/Orson - the trees, the mingling of nature and humanity and the sense of mysterious persecution.
I'm so glad to see you are going on with the work! Now that I've moved my parents, it's time for me to begin writing again. But school is starting today! It's always something, isn't it?

Lovely Marly. I especially like the first. Very vivid. Shades of the romantics!
Clare,
I seem to be often treebound in my imagination...
Robbi,
Shades, yes!
Wonderful Marly, more please! Happy New Year.
Robert,
I am so glad to see your name! I hope that 2010 is kind to you, and that you put out some green growth...
There are some more if you slide down the page. Online I've had several recently at "The Flea" and have some forthcoming at "Mezzo Cammin."
My eldest has to get to the airport today, but I'll pop by and see what the studio has to offer soon.
