It’s taken me all damn day, but everything is photographed and listed on Etsy. All of the 22 new paintings are priced at US$50.00, regardless of size. I also renewed a few of the artist books I had listed previously.

ETA for comparison, the same photo uploaded to Flickr. Whatever Blogger does when it compresses photos is NOT attractive.

Mother-wings
Oh, beautiful half-fledged
thoughts of mine
peeping out
from the mother-wings,
mad as a hare,
and should be in chains
Crows

Every winter, the crows come to Bloomington. Thousands and thousands and thousands of them, all over town. This small group was congregating near the lot where I park my car.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox’s Inner Goth Girl
I started working on this book months ago, then got sidetracked when Harried died. I’ve started working on it again. I haven’t scanned any of the new pages yet, but have been photographing the poems as I finish them. Mostly so that when a cat inevitably scatters the pieces, I know how to put them back together.
Forget all these dead
still
ever and always
Who sit down, uninvited
And make a nightmare
of solitude.
This is what the carcass of the donor book looks like. I mostly took a photo of it because book abuse makes people cry, and I’m a total jerk. But honestly, I think I’m making it better! Ella Wheeler Wilcox is just plain awful, so I like to believe that helping her get in touch with her inner goth girl is adding value. Right?
