still aboard the StarShipSofa

Host Tony C. Smith hasn't kicked me off the boat yet -- my SF Italian sonnet "Our Fallen Do Not Fall" appears on this week's StarShipSofa Aural Delights #61.   Diane Severson again provides the narration -- & this time, there's a strange & wonderful piece of cover art by Skeet.  First time I've ever gotten my name on the cover of a podcast!

As usual, this podcast may be downloaded from the StarShipSofa Web site, or obtained via iTunes.   "Our Fallen Do Not Fall" first appeared in the 2nd Annual SFPA Poetry Contest chapbook, as one of the top 26 poems selected in the 2007 contest (for sonnets). 

horror meets ancient history . . .

Or was that the other way around?  At any rate, today's offering from ancienthistory is too marvelously morbid to ignore.  If you follow through a couple of links, you'll learn more about Mayan human sacrifice than you may have really wanted to -- & view some great Mesoamerican artwork, as well.
