Directions to the Palace: Seek out Giacometti’s “The Palace at 4 a.m.” Go back precisely two hours. See towers and curtain walls of matchsticks, marble, marbles, light, cloud at stasis. Walk in. The beggar queen is dreaming on her throne of words… Welcome. You have arrived at the web home of Marly Youmans, maker of novels, poetry collections, and stories, as well as the occasional fantasy for younger readers.

Wiki-Tikki-Clive
Clive Hicks-Jenkins, maker of the gorgeous interior and exterior art for Thaliad and The Foliate Head, has a lovely new entry at Wikipedia. I have a guess at the writer (definitely not implying Clive!), and must say that he did an excellent job. A lot of Wikipedia articles about writers are "bitty" or else strike one as written over too much time by a committee. When I last looked at mine, my fingers itched to change some things and to get rid of others, and to combine pieces into a bigger whole. But Clive's is a great compact introduction to the multi-faceted man. Enjoy.
