Thanks so much to Abby Frucht for making my short story "Scarecar" the first of her monthly selections as guest fiction editor of Lost magazine. Abby is an editorial zen master and Scarecar is the stronger for it. And thanks, Shannon, for bugging me to send it in.

I'm excited to see it there, and about the perfect illustration by Rob Grom.

In New York for a fantastic Flim Forum reading at at Poetry Project, I happened into an art instillation that re-formed the way I thought about both Iraq and America. I doubt anyone's specifically interested in my opinion on those subjects, but it's a sufficiently powerful exhibit that I think it might change yours too. I wrote a bit about it on the OLM blog, and I'm going to try to get back there before it goes on the road. There's also a big new issue of Open Letters to cruse online, including a poem by a character in my novel, Under the Small Lights, the louche and imperious Charles Jodoin. It's one of his best, I think.
