We do not use these stones with mouths, by Ronit Baranga, but I wish we could!
But that's neither here nor there, nor why I am here! I am here, on the Hump of the Week, also a Random Coinciday and a Poetry Someday in the blog, to announce a new poetry feature at Escape Into Life--Daniel Romo--and the new issue of Redheaded Stepchild, in which I have a poem! It's one of my Cassandra poems. This is a wonderful issue, and I am so impressed by how the poems all weave together. I love those redheaded editors!
Daniel Romo's work is in that "blurry" place between poetry and prose--prose poetry, flash fiction. I like the humor and darkness in his work. I have paired him with watercolor, by Marilyn Cvitanic, available to blur, but also somehow working as a train wreck (the first piece) and an "anonymous tapestry," to quote Romo's interestingly titled second piece.
Here is some more stuff to get you through the hump of the week:
A super-duper deal on rufous poetry by Karen J. Weyant, the Scrapper Poet. She calls it a Rust Belt Sale!
And now, because I have been complimented on my "sly humor," I wish you a happy holiday season.

I like Daniel Romo, and will be along to check out those poems. Congrats on your poem, too!
Thanks, Sarah!
I was just talking about Life of Pi with some students today...sounds great. I read the book a while back for a class in undergrad...it was such a fun class (I think it was called Contemporary Fiction--it was basically like semi-academic book club, but in the best way possible). We also read The Reader in that class...I'm so excited for the holidays so I can read a little!!!
I liked The Reader, too. I think I read it before I saw the movie.
