The Knot

My flash story, The Knot, just went live at Pantheon Magazine.

A few quick points about this one: one, even though it’s in a speculative zine, this is actually the first non-speculative story I’ve published in 15 years. Which is saying something. It actually felt a bit strange. Though, to be fair, it’s not entirely non-speculative either – it’s somewhat inspired by the myths of Persephone and Orpheus. Somewhat. Which I guess just goes to show that I can never quite rid myself of myth and fairy tale, not entirely, even when my words are wandering in the real world.

Second, this is one of many Persephone inspired stories in the issue – I’m delighted to be sharing a TOC with Megan Arkenberg again, and, for what I think is the first time, with Valya Dudycz Lupescu. Enjoy the issue!  (Their stories will be available soon when the entire issue goes live – in the meantime, there’s another quick story by Kelley Archibald to enjoy.)

After the Dance

My poem, After the Dance, very loosely based on the fairy tale of the Twelve Dancing Princesses, just popped up over at Uncanny Magazine.

Enjoy!

Demands

In the last few minutes of 2014 – literally the last few minutes of 2014 – little poetry goblins released a new issue of Goblin Fruit, which includes my poem, Demands.

Demands is a companion piece to my poems Snowmelt and Feather. They don’t need to be read in any particular order.

Enjoy!
