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.
Marly,
ReplyDeleteHope he's home safe and sound very soon.
Oh my. Yes, hope he will be home without further delays, all safe and surrounded by loving wife and childen.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am thinking he must have flown out from Jo-burg or else be about to do so--since I now don't know the flight, it's a bit confusing. So he'll be through NYC customs by midnight; he'll have to go through a special declaration. And I'm not sure whether that will happen tonight or tomorrow. Anyway, I hope to pick him up in Oneonta before too late tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHope he gets home safely soon! When I lived in Malawi we all avoided Moxambique, because too many Kafka-esque things happened there, and it was more dangerous back then too
ReplyDeleteHurrah, he is in NYC! I think he had a wondrous time, aside from the gun-running accusation... Malawi, what an adventure...
