I remember it. Lovely.

No one writes like you do, Mary.
You have your own voice.

Thank you, Andrew, Cally, Siham, and Nemo!!!!! <3

A great thing about The Awl is the short gap between acceptance and publication. Which is why I was trawling The Awl and saw Andrew's poem there, two weeks before mine.

Mary!

I remember this one so well from when it was workshopped here. You were 'Mary quite contrary' in insisting on keeping that first line and how right you were! I loved it then and I love it now.

This news deserves its own thread. This new one is a tour de force, my Mems. Just plain WOWSIE. What a title!! And what a journey to arrive finally at the title! Nostos, indeed! Seriously amazing work. It's as though all your years of doing this have burst into blossom-song at the same time!

WELL DONE INDEED, Memsical!!

You sound just like Sappho.
