Novelist Clare Dudman and I have planned to meet for years, and yesterday we did. Hop to Hodmandod Land and enjoy! I went with the just-arrived poet and blogger Dave Bonta to Welshpool and Powis Castle. Click on the title to fly there.
More news when I get home--the iPad is not conducive to blogging.
Seek Giacometti’s “The Palace at 4 a.m.” Go back 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… You have arrived at the web home of Marly Youmans, maker of novels, poems, and stories, as well as the occasional fantasy. D. G. Myers: "A writer who has more resolutely stood her ground against the tide of literary fashion would be difficult to name."

Alas, I must once again remind large numbers of Chinese salesmen and other worldwide peddlers that if they fall into the Gulf of Spam, they will be eaten by roaming Balrogs. The rest of you, lovers of grace, poetry, and horses (nod to Yeats--you do not have to be fond of horses), feel free to leave fascinating missives and curious arguments.
The link didn't work, or I'd have flown, as commanded!
ReplyDeleteI am reading your book. Amazed, simply, though I have seen a number of these poems separately, they're a whole different thing when gathered together into a bouquet.
Enjoy. I wish we were a stop on your circuit!
i was going to breeze over there as well.
