editorial comment on "Bottle" by editor, Truancy

In the editorial introduction of Truancy 9, the editor-in-chief, Nin Harris, comments on my poem of the fantastic, "Bottle":

...[We] move to Scotland by way of Sarah Webb's "Bottle", a Selkie poem that was so intense, it caught me by the throat."

Thank you, Nin!

The writing in Truancy draws on folklore and fairy tale.

Fall, 2017, Illya's Honey

Just read through this Fall's posting of Illya's Honey. Lots of great poetry,some from friends like Carol Hamilton, who has two lovely formal poems.

I was entranced with Kate Hart's "See How Things Work Out For Themselves?" and Donald Fisher's "Canadian Geese Against a Blue October Sky" and "The House Painter." They have that strange dislocation of reality that takes you some place that is and can't be. Like Fisher's house painter who goes so slowly he finally freezes mid stroke and becomes a lawn statue that inspires the neighborhood.

And Larry Thomas's "Red Maple With Ravens" is rich and strange too, in a different way, a maple who is a grieving woman who has "has stared death down/and made of her gown/a roosting place for ravens."

Thanks to Ann Howell's, who included my "The Ones They Lost" in the issue.
