I hope to put some time and energy aside soon to write a review of <i>The New Arcana</i> but tonight my mind is wandering, or in other words I probably won't write a review of anything. We'll see. I've been so wired lately. A trip to Maui would do me good. A nice bath in the everglades among the baby sea turtles and fauna or whatever. I need a parrot to tickle my feet with a long feather clutched in its talons while some experimental elevator music plays from a nearby speaker nailed to a palm tree. Sure it's hard to eat my cake in a hammock with a parrot tickling my feet, but it makes the music so much better.<br />

I'm not a poetry reviewer, and won't attempt to be an authority on the subject, or bust out a thesaurus to describe in intricate detail just why I enjoyed these books, but I will say "I like them." NOCTIS LICENTIA and GHOST MACHINE have both been available for awhile, so if you are thinking "of course I know about these, newbie." then I apologize.<br />
