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, poetry collections, and stories, as well as the occasional fantasy for younger readers.

Robin has a giveaway
"The Ill-defined Giveaway": play a game and win books by Amanda Cockrell, Alexandria LaFaye, Hillary Homzie, and me at Robin Rudd's lovely children's literature blog, Robin Has an Idea. As we have learned in recent days, rioters do not desire books. But maybe you do.

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.
Thanks, Marly. Here's to spreading the written word :)
