Yes, I finally rewarded myself (I've been writing a lot of things!) with the Cyclops Playmobil set. Comes with Cyclops, blue-cloaked Odysseus, Ram (rather small ram), and sword and torch. Stinky cheese not included.

This was a fascinating read - a historical source book, which, by versifying its sources, becomes astonishingly engaging. Yes, I know it sounds like something Dr. Cornelius would assign to Prince Caspian but actually works.

Mary Finnegan@maryraphaela · Oct 1Like most small ventures, @WisebloodBooks relies on the aid of our Patronsand supporters, seen and unseen, readers and writers who believe in our efforts to foster works of fiction, poetry, and philosophy that wrestle us from the ruse of distraction; find redemption in uncanny places and people; articulate faith and doubt in their incarnate complexity; dare an unflinching gaze at human beings as “political animals; and render well this world’s sufferings without forfeiting hope—all of this with an unflinching gaze, wide-eyed.

My reflections on a poem I have been reading and teaching for years. Dickinson is our best poet of the nineteenth century. #masterpiece #emilydickinson @WSJBooks
