Well, you'll have to find out why through moi forthcoming DREDGING FOR ATLANTIS (Otoliths) -- thank you Mark Young for the lovely opportunity.

And I'm gurgling like a bebe in excitement as I just saw the golden cover with a brilliant vizpo interpretation by harry k. stammer. Thank you, harry, for all your fabulous design work!

More details later on my recovery of Atlantis, but for now, here's an appetizer -- an excerpt from the back cover text for Dear-you-know-who-scholar who needs to be alerted to the phrase I'm boldfacing:

EILEEN TABIOS' publications include 14 poetry collections, an art essay collection, a poetry essay/interview anthology, and a short story book. DREDGING FOR ATLANTIS, her 11th print poetry collection, extends a body of work unique for melding ekphrasis with a transcolonial perspective.

Kootchie-kootchie-koo!
