Poetry Fishbowl Report for Tuesday, August 2, 2011
Poem: "The Canticle of Days"
There will be an extra Poetry Fishbowl on Tuesday, August 16 focused on the serial Monster House. It will probably run for about half a day, afternoon and evening. This is a perk from the August 2 fishbowl.
There are five epic poems in microfunding: "The Accidental Hero" follows Aldornia and Zenobia when one of Aldornia's relatives unexpectedly appears in the Temple of Golden Light. "Stained" finds Johan, a former paladin of Gailah, in trouble in front of the last person he ever wanted to see again. "Fiorenza and the Witch-Son" features Fiorenza the Italian herbalist musing about social roles and gender dynamics, at a time when there is NOT a major preternatural crisis going on. "Igor's Creature" is a mix of horror and science fiction with a large helping of sociology and a wry twist of humor. The epic poem "A Periodic Table of Elementals" is ahead of production. Note that "The Accidental Hero," "Stained," and "Fiorenza and the Witch-Son" have all been gaining verses, so check those if you haven't done so recently.

This has been a busy week. Much of it was taken up processing the very successful fishbowl. We also visited the country fair and went out for supper with relatives.
