Holy Publication, Rosalind Casey!

[alanajoli]

While doing some random internet searching, I discovered that Rosalind Casey one of the students from this past year's England Trip (who, in our trip role-playing game, we cast as the Victorian incarnation of The Slayer), has several poems published! Her most recent, "At the Woodcutters," appears in the current issue of Goblin Fruit (alongside Coyote Wild contributor Shweta Narayan). Her earlier work has been published in the San Antonio Express News and Mind Flights. All three pieces are very mythic and/or folkloric, and very good. I'm sure it's not news for her any more, but -- congratulations, Rosalind!

Also while searching the web, I discovered that Coyote Wild has changed its format. The old archives are still intact, just a little bit hard to find. ("Nomi's Wish" is still available here.)

Thank you! ^_^

That's actually my second poem for the Express-News, and my fourth for Goblin Fruit. The fearsome Goblin Queen over at GF are so awesome and so classy. Also, Shweta Narayan's poetry is just--gah. Renders me speechless. Have you seen her contributions to the Summer 09 issue of Goblin Fruit? Those may be some of my favorites of hers.

I hadn't read "Nomi's Wish" before, and I enjoyed it very much!

You're prolific! (I have to say, my favorite of the three I linked to was the Express-News piece. *g*)

I hadn't actually read any Goblin Fruit before I saw your name associated with it, despite having seen it mentioned a number of times by other lj correspondents. I'll have to go read back issues. But I agree about Shweta Narayan's work. :)

And I'm glad you liked the story! Some of the England game came out of myth/folklore/tourist studies I did while my sister and I were on the Isle of Man in 2003. I'll have to tell you about it over coffee sometime.

Rosalind - Can you write me at dkolodji "at" aol "dot" com? One of your poems has been nominated for a Rhysling Award and we would like to reprint it. The Rhysling Chair hasn't heard from you so we are wondering if we need a different e-mail address.

Other nominees this year include Jane Yolen, Janis Ian, and W.S. Merwin, so you are in fantastic company.

Congratulations!

I've contacted Rosalind on facebook, just in case she misses the message here. I hope she reaches you!
