Thanks for the article and the responses to StarShine and Shadows (which has an article about my son’s online fantasy novel). I just got word from the publisher that IN THE VOID, a collection of SF/F/H poetry over the past few years, is now out. Haven’t seen a copy yet but I’m looking forward to it.

Wow, I got my reading merit badge from him about 20 years ago and didn’t realize that he was this cool…

Thanks for bringing this up, Lee. I tried to check Starshine and Shadows on my lunchbreak at work, but the site was blocked by the nanny filter — something about the occult.

Michael R. Collings’ new(ish) website is:

http://www.starshineandshadows.com

Providentially, this week he’s featuring an essay on his Epyllion in Anamnesis: The Taliesin Poems, which in part retells the Joseph Smith/Nauvoo story in the guise of King Arthur/Camelot. The poems are reprinted in the essay as well.

Taliesin is my favorite of Collings’ works.

“And now that he is gone, where is the whiteness
on the hill? or stone suns and moons and stars
he willed to _be_?”
