The first three episodes of SOME AMAZONS are out, a retelling of the Epic Cycle rhapsody that once followed directly after the end of Homer's Iliad, reconstructed from ancient sources and modern archaeology.

My original plan for a reconstructed lost story from the Epic Cycle was to self-publish it in the next six to nine months. But why wait? My revised plan is still to self-publish the book, but in the meantime, to drop a web serial edition that starts on Monday, June 2nd.

I'm still tinkering with today's poem while trying to avoid being too overtly political, but I feel entitled to take a few pot-shots at politicians because sometimes the name on the ballot is my own.

The Minotaur myth is a depressing tale of intolerance and betrayal when told from the monster's point of view, but it may encode an even greater tragedy.
