If you haven’t seen or read or heard of The Collected Enchantments yet, it is a gorgeous collection of many Theodora Goss short stories, and best of all–POEMS!–(I know, that’s just a personal preference I love her stories too, I just love ANY collection with POETRY in it).
I think Dora and I both love Mythic Delirium so much, and feel such gratitude for a small praise whose entire aesthetic is “beauty and strangeness.” We both got to release our books from Mythic Delirium at Boskone two months ago–her The Collected Enchantments, and my The Twice-Drowned Saint. It was she–from a casual remark about wanted a rose named after her–who inspired the character of Dora Rose in my novella “The Bone Swans of Amandale,” which can be found in my collection Bone Swans. Half of it is that we both like to play dress-up, and the other half is, I just think she’s so great and smart and is such a good talker, so it’s like going to see a panel she’s on for my own pleasure, and occasionally talking too.įor those of you who don’t know, Dora and I were in a writing group together for a hot minute, way back in the beforetimes. It’s always terribly exciting and fun to be on a panel with Dr. Looks like there’s a sign-up for the event on their website, so go check out their ROOTS OF ENCHANTMENT EVENT and come see us if you’re in the Boston area! …which just… makes me want to buy ALL THE DICE from them!

Towards the end of the month–on April 23rd!–I get to take a train up to Boston and be on a panel with Dr. In the meantime, at least the process remains interesting. I need to write more poetry so that I can write something I really like and also really mean. Then I started reading about houses, and now it’s half-based on a true story of a house called The One.Īnyway.
Not like “girl-running- from-house” gothic (thank you, Kathleen Jennings), but “old woman-running- to-house” gothic.īut this came out instead. So then I wanted to write something reverse-Gothic. That made me want to try something like that. Gwynne had a successful night of turning a failed short story into a good poem. Then I wanted to write something fun, but it ended up being this. I wrote something more personal at first, but it made me cry, and also it wasn’t very good.
