| Introduction | A fire rooster in the scales of a fish, oldmuse continues to stray from the straight and narrow toward the circuitous, obscure and esoteric, with occasional lapses of clarity and conviction. She values humour and tries to lighten her and others' loads, with mixed concoctions. Favorite complex: o' cursèd spite that ever I was born to set it right. |
