Of Elsewhere
For the rest of the year, I hope to release monthly zines in multiple formats. The ones planned for this year are all of February, and many of them will be in some form in the long February book that I hope to release toward the end of the year (or — just possibly — […]
Huge news in a short post: I signed a contract with Apocryphile Press (https://apocryphilepress.com/) for The Falling Tower, a novella-length metaphysical thriller in the tradition of Charles Williams…in which Charles Williams is a character! It starts when, for Reasons (namely, the reinvention of the Adamic tongue, in which the connection between signifiers and referents is […]
After somewhere between a year’s and more than half my life’s labor (depending where you draw the lines), I have finally released the first volume of Of Evernost, namely Out of Tales, or January. Feeling anxious and full of doubt, but proud for all that. It’s been a lot of work and love. In addition, […]
Rather as the moon landing was “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” I have taken “one small step for me, and one giant leap in my mind” (it even rhymes with the original!). Unfortunately, a lot of the creative process is like that — the milestones are subtle and personal and not […]
Among other Evernostian projects, I am trying to write myths and fairy tales about Evernost, or elsewhere. So far, I’ve mostly been reading and taking notes — Grimm’s Fairy Tales and tales of /meditations on goddesses from a book I picked up as a kid. I have a section on Stories, a section on Morals, […]
Today we circle around to Something Blue, a poem I wrote that is unlikely to be published elsewhere. Today’s poem is from my self-published poetry zine Of Elsewhere: An Exoskeleton, and it depicts a shift toward spring. It came out in a rush (albeit with a bit of fun fiddling) a few years ago, and it has no […]
I’ve had a busy week—working extra around the holiday to cover for coworkers’ travel, spending time with visiting family, etc.—and I haven’t gotten through my Something New post (the annotations to This Wasted Land). Instead, I’ll share a creepy winter short story. I shall tell you a story now. There is nothing I like so well as […]
Today I bring you the next poem in Of Elsewhere: An Exoskeleton. It doesn’t have a title, but it riffs on “gray, the nothing color” from Colorless last month. It depicts the state of mind at the edge between winter and spring; I envision it describing a cold, cloudy, but rainless day. The snow may have melted, […]
Today I’ll share something of mine that I doubt could get published elsewhere, this one because it’s already (self-)published in my chapbook Of Elsewhere: An Exoskeleton, which you can buy on Kindle here for $0.99 (I hope you can excuse the plug, which I will make every time I circle back to “something blue”; the advantage of the […]
Hello! I took a bit of time off work to do Evernost rewrite/revision, and while I wasn’t as productive as I’d hoped to be, I at least hit a major milestone. And I came up with an experimental strategy for revising: turning the prose into poetry and back again. In theory, it will help me […]
