Vegetarian Witch, book obsessive, Mid-century fan, lover of the Living Rainbow, lewd appraiser of the unclothed male human form.
An interesting sequel of sorts to THE WHITE GODDESS is SEVEN DAYS IN NEW CRETE, also published as WATCH THE NORTH WIND RISE. It is Graves' speculative vision of what the world would look like if the religion of the White Goddess were to become the foundation of a world government.

Not relevant to your project, but I wrote this little piece about Graves several years ago. I was really irritated when I spotted some typos I think I still haven't fixed.

I hope the protest helps people become aware of these dangerous thugs terrorizing our streets. An entire crew of workers repainting a Dunkin Donuts in a neighborhood here was abducted while in the middle of their job by ICE. No word here as to what happened to them or where they are now.

Wishing you safe travels. Hope you have some warm clothing packed away somewhere handy. It's currently around 38, but the low tonight is going to sink to 20 degrees. Definitely not South Florida weather.

Oh my gosh. We really are in the latter days. English... my favorite dead language.

I thought of you watching Alan Gallant's latest "Collinsport After Dark" episode on the Tube of You. He included quite a few delightful clips from 1966 including one where Carolyn or Maggie are talking about Roger and Vicki being together and the mystery of it all...
