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.

a commonplace from eastrod
I've already noted this on twitter and facebook, so I suppose it's already an old tale, given the scorching storytelling pace of the internet, but there's an interesting new books blog underway from one R. T., someone I encountered first on critic D. G. Myers's book blog, and later via novelist Scott G. F. Bailey and . . . here. He is especially keen on Flannery O'Connor, but seems to have a wide range of concerns. Why don't you pop by and help him launch? He's posting frequently and has lots of questions!

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.
Thanks for pointing this out, Marly!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marly, for the kind words! But my words are inadequate to express my gratitude.
ReplyDeleteHi Marty--
ReplyDeleteJust might be your kind of place!
R. T.,
Hope it helps a bit...
