And here is a cruel winter Valentine for you if you have had enough of candy hearts and small animals dressed in ruffly pink.
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.

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.
ReplyDeleteThank you for playing with "The Lydian Stones!"

ReplyDeleteA snort of delight at that phrasing! Your work was just my cup of tea for this day. Loveliness.
Amanda,
ReplyDeleteGood!
Just re-linked to you! And was wandering around your site (so many beautiful things I don't remember--shall go back and spend time when I'm not working on Dread Marketing.) Atelier Sisk is looking fine indeed!
