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.

Good night--

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.
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!
ReplyDeleteI love the image on your post two back, with the arrangement of sculpture, carved jar and your book - exquisite!
Oops, I meant this comment to go to "So far: interviews" - feel free to move it. I need my morning coffee....
ReplyDeleteOh, a little disorganization never hurt a blog!
ReplyDeleteThe 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
