[New-Poetry] Mentioning novelists, Rikki Dourcet is coming to be the Writer in Residence at Univ. of Louisiana, Lafayette

[Skip Fox]

Stunning work. I recommend Phospher in Dreamland and The Fanmaker's
Inquisition, but they are all extraordinarily good.

 

To top it off, she's a fine person, extraordinarily bright with a ready
intelligence.

 

I've not yet read her poetry, but she has about three poetry books and a
children's book.

 

On another note, a movie I'd strongly recommend for both adults and children
in the 2004 Genesis, wherein an Africian storyteller explains in a simple
and mildly poetical way, the nature of birth life and death which such
beautiful nature photography that one wonders, at times, why anyone invented
animation. The mating spiders is a long brilliant scene. It is so tasteful
that I would have watched it with my kids even as toddlers (though there was
a bit of frog rutting). It would be great for 7-11 year olds.
