The NPM giveaway--

The winner of the great poetry giveaway is utopian fragments! And the rest of you, readers or readers-and-poets, thank you for playing. I enjoyed e-meeting you and hope you'll come back again sometime.

The image at left is from Clive Hicks-Jenkins and is one of the vignettes of collaged, painted papers from Thaliad. At right is one from The Foliate Head.

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.

Youmans (pronounced like 'yeoman' with an 's' added) is the best-kept secret among contemporary American writers --John Wilson, editor, Books and Culture. Marly Youmans is a novelist and poet out of sync with the times but in tune with the ages --First Things. I cannot recommend an author more than Marly Youmans, whose fantastic prose is absolutely gorgeous & haunting --novelist Sebastien Doubinsky. Youmans, one of the biggest secrets of contemporary American fiction, writes with freshness & beauty --Jeffery Beam.
