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.

Golden frolics
I'm taking a blog break because Ruth Sanderson is coming for a visit, and I need to do a bit of spit and polish on the rickety old abode before this afternoon. If you don't know this wonderful illustrator and painter, take a look at her Golden Studio site. I'll be back on Monday. If you want to find me elsewhere, root around in old posts or check out the book tabs at the top of the page--the first four books are still in print, 2011-12 poetry and a novel.

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.
