Gorgeous snow on the golden and green leaves of fall today. It just so happened that the audiobook of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight that I had on hold became available today, which was ideal with the weather. Chores all day, and a hard day given that the day my dad’s shop becomes someone else’s is fast approaching, so today there was neither the time nor the emotional space for much else. However, listening to Gawain as I clean up I think this might be what I can do for the poem to go with “Bloom & Martyr”—a long poem about the Green Knight might be just the thing, and I think it’d go with “Bloom and Martyr” thematically really well. And having something to work with as a source text might actually give me the direction and parameters I need to get this poem going, and get it sent out for consideration soon.
