pomes, and other

[jazzfish]

Some must employ the scythe, a paean to testing (among other things). I had no idea that Abi, in addition to being a bookbinder, poet, ML frontpager, and possessor of a cool name, was a software tester. My formerly boundless respect for her has extended into new dimensions. (Especially after this comment.)

Especially for mikailborg (although if she's gotten around to reading Bridge of Birds yet, darkfyre_muse may be interested as well): The Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox, soon to be reissued by Subterranean Press. The link includes the text of the jacket copy, written by Mr Hughart for the new omnibus edition.

It's National Poetry Month. So here's a happy poem and a less happy one. Both are true. (I'm not sure how to identify the emotion in the second. Recognition? Resignation? It's one I run across in myself on occasion, and it generally evokes a confused "Huh. That's odd.")

Oh my goodness someone else does this too! I love Zelazny but pretty much anything other than The Chronicles of Amber slip right out of my head a month after I'm done reading it.

Heck, that's what I did with Lord of the Rings about every year for over 10 years; it just wouldn't stick in my head.
