Ithaca in Bookshops!
My little Homeric dialogue + coda about entropic decay/the epic cycle, published by new Norfolk small press Dow House, has found its way into some bookshops. The best bit is the pictures by Josephine Marston: a rather evil-looking Jörmungandr curling around Yggdrasil in frontispiece, and Penelope really having to get on with some weaving so no time to get married sorry on the cover. Here it is sharing shelf-space with the likes of Riley, Banks, Riviere, Sisson and some of those nice little Rack Press pamphlets. Commerce!
