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.

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.
I've been celebrating the end of the day by watching lots of Pina Bausch choreography on youtube. You can too! And now here's the trailer from Pina by Wim Wenders. And now I am ready for dreaming.
It must be thrilling feeling to have and hold your book after all the struggles giving it birth and seeing it to maturity and about to be sent out to the world. Bravo, Marly!
I love the image on your post two back, with the arrangement of sculpture, carved jar and your book - exquisite!
The sculpture is a giveaway from housecleaning at a local church. The pot is by a family of potters in Dillsboro, North Carolina. By the young daughter, Zan Barnes. www.riverwoodpottery.com
