| Clive Hicks-Jenkins, for Thaliad |
Here's a Clive Hicks-Jenkins vignette (for what will be the rear of the jacket/cover of the upcoming Thaliad (Montreal, CA: Phoenicia Publishing) to keep you until then.) I like those strangely lit windows... It looks an awful lot like Christ Church Cooperstown, which was in my head when I wrote one the scenes in the poem. Epics need supernatural presences, and mine has them, so I am glad to see that uncanny glass. (Scroll down the page to see more jacket/cover images.)
You have done quite well resisting posting, for the most part. I'm sure there is something of a dent in the pile by now. Are you the only reader?
ReplyDeleteAm taking a breather--then back to work. Hence I see you here and on fb, doing some fellow frittering!
ReplyDeleteNot much of a dent. Books take time...
What a thought... No, there are five of us. In fact, five for each category (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and young people's lit.) Here we are, off the NBA site:
