So, aside from a very sore back, I’ve returned from the stress echo completely intact. My heart, aside from a little minor arrhythmia, isn’t infected with anything, and doesn’t show any other problems. I got to hear it – the tech played the rhythm, that tell-tale lub-dub, and I got to see the fuzzy pictures. The fun part was running a thirty-percent incline at five miles an hour. Yah. Good times.

Featured Fractured Fairytales

In Poetry News, I am honored to be the featured poet at Endicott Studio’s Journal of Mythic Arts Spring Anniversary issue. Some fantastic essays on the origins of various fairy tales – Rapunzel, the Arabian Nights – some wonderful art work. And great lists in some of the essays of which poets and fictionists to read if you’re interested in this kind of thing. I could read it for days. Just like those lolcats pictures.
