Hello everyone. Some real world work suddenly came up that I can’t avoid, so this will be my last free post before the New Year. I will put out a couple paid subscriber posts after the 20th, however; the ones I said I’d do last week. Christmas treats for all you awesome people supporting this endeavor.
As a Catholic I celebrate all Twelve Days of Christmas. Posts as a result will resume on Tuesday, January 9th. I look forward to it as I will commence my much-awaited dystopian series. You’ll want to stay tuned for this: you’ll not only get to read about authors one always likes to hear about, like Huxley and Orwell; but many others whose names should be equal to them. Along with a few relevant works of dissident lit with crucial dystopian themes.
Once this series ends, your dystopian bookshelf will be the envy of every end-of-freedom paranoiac: that I can promise you. Many of whom are comprised of us, frankly, in this day and age. So have your book lists ready!
My second novel, Tale of a Muse that Fought an AI, should follow around that time as well. It was delayed, but the break will give me time to catch up.
On behalf of “us here” at Timeless, have a very Merry Christmas full of joy, grace and time with family! And if some of you don’t celebrate Christmas, then peace be upon you during this brumal season in some other respect.
Half an Advent calendar - makeshift
Jingles in a bag of Christmas plastic
Stashed beside my pens
Half-Advent, half-Christmas: how broken am I?
Pine needles litter the front porch; who says
Ecological waste can’t also be litter?
I want to be whole again, like Macedonian poetry
Red candles are longing, silently, for the divine grace of
Their little flames, inanimate to everything.
Shelves emptied of advent calendars told time
At the chocolate store so far from home;
Must Christmas now be practiced out of time?
"Tale of a Muse that Fought an AI" - That sounds like an awesome title. May you have a lovely Christmas and delightful New Year!
