Yes, I’m deep in work mode right now, reading and re-reading in prep for my upcoming high school class on “mythology, comic books, and you” for Centrum: “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay” by Michael Chabon, re-reading Kelly Link’s “Stranger Things Happen” to decide which story to use in the class, and a book on the history and origins of superheroes called “Comic Book Character.”

But, I had to surface briefly before I disappear for a week in the class to direct you to new poems on 2River View:

You know, the editor took two poems that I wrote at very different times, but put together, they tell one story. I didn’t realize it until I was recording them both. That’s the subconscious for you.

And, to show you the wonderful work my Becoming the Villainess illustrator, Michaela Eaves, continues to do – here’s the upcoming cover of indie-sci-fi-lit-mag, Talebones! Nice work, right?
