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.
Dear Marly, I read this entire chapter aloud to myself to feel the words roll off my tongue. You are a poet, through and through, and it makes your prose magic. I am amazed, though I know I shouldn't be because it's your writing. The experience of it is truly remarkable. - MB
You just popped up as I was about to close my laptop--what a lovely thing to say. I'm so glad you did! It's very cheerful and encouraging on a morning when I have many dreary things to do and a cold to boot! Thank you.
