A good insight into your writing process! I research a lot for poetry, but never thought of using Flickr. Very useful!<br />
Two more recommendations for you – I just got the bound galleys for an upcoming anthology – almost all fiction with just a couple of poems (by me, cough, and one other poet) called “Beastly Bride.” The introduction alone is fantastic – all sorts of backstories on transforming women throughout different cultures – and featuring stories by the likes of Peter S. Beagle (the guy that wrote The Last Unicorn, who wrote a story based on Hawaiian sea myths I think you will love) and Jane Yolen. I thought of your Sea myth stories when I read the collection.<br />
Also: go see Ponyo, the new Miyazaki movie. It also is inspired by several sea myths about transforming girls. There is an interesting Japanese folk tale about a girl who transforms into a goldfish – and of course, The Little Mermaid’s story also creeps in – though Miyazaki has said he hated the ending to that story, so he didn’t follow that plot line all the way.<br />
That’s it from your friendly neighborhood “recommender of good things.” Also, AS Byatt’s “Children’s Book” is almost out – did you ever get ahold of her “Little Black Book?”<br />
