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.

Spring hiatus
As many demands (deadlines, hoards, promises, etcetera) are trilling my name in high, insistent voices, I am taking a little break from life on the internet. Comments here will reach my personal (that is, non-work) email address, should you have the surprising, perhaps dire (unlikely, but odd things happen in this world of wonders) need for a poet and novelist.
The Foliate Head's collection of poems with art by Clive Hicks-Jenkins, Stanza Press (UK)here
A Death at the White Camellia Orphanage(novel) from Mercer University Press (ForeWord 2013 finalist in the general fiction category; The Ferrol Sams Award, 2012) here
The Throne of Psyche, collection of formal poetry from Mercer, 2011, here
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.
Have Fun! Dont get into to much trouble!

ReplyDeleteWaving--see you later!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the hiatus! It's a good thing to do from time to time, just to remind yourself that you can.
ReplyDeleteJeff,
ReplyDeleteYes, and to catch up! I am far behind in many things, alas. Still reading your gargoyle poems!
