On a more personal note, another poetry sale that chuffs me quite a bit: "Desert Stories" to Mythic Delierium. It is in mixed English and Japanese. I won't claim the haiku portions are good haiku, but they were composed in Japanese and they are mine. Also, it's about the desert, and we need more non-temperate fairy tales.

Tip of the hat and a deep bow to asakiyume for the helpful beta, in parts and in whole.

(One more day of deadlines ... )
