tuesday hangovers

There's lots of good stuff blowing around the sites to the right, but here's a few I especially liked this morning:

The Happy Booker has a few photos and quotes rubbing in what you and I missed at AWP, including one William Gibson.

Maureen McHugh meditates on age, change and the pain of her mother's dementia and reprints her poem "Les Brown's Band of Renown," originally published in an issue of Say... (Go read it. I love that poem.)

Fernham shares a classic Byron drinking anecdote.

Matt Cheney discovers that you can get to the old Event Horizon site (which was beautifully designed and published some amazing stuff) via the Wayback Machine.

New Mark Rich story "The Diogenes Robot" at Strange Horizons this week. Check it out. (Via the Gavin and his LCRW newsletter, which you can subscribe to here.)
