My poem, Winter's Tale, appears in the Winter Solstice edition of Emerald Tales, available now, and Drift will appear on Every Day Poets on December 23rd.
The muse has been good to me lately. Lots of short stories, including one which prompted a fourth novel-length WIP. The poetry muse seems to have taken a holiday, but it's all good. She'll come back with suitcases packed full of new words and demand to have her say.
And for something random,I thought I'd list some of my favorite books, in no particular order. These are tales I've read over and over and each time, it's like visiting an old friend.
The Shining by Stephen King
I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
Shadowland by Peter Straub
Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare
Dracula by Bram Stoker
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
Read them, love them, hate them? Let me know.

I love most of those books. Stephen King is one of my favorite authors--period :-D I've been following your blog for a while, Damien. I'm HW from AW. ;-)
Plus, I have a contest on my blog. ;-)
King's "The Stand" is on my list of things I periodically re-read. As is Tolkien and Herbert's "Dune."
Btw, wasn't "Winter's Tale" the title of that book you recommended? Any connection to your poem?
