Capture: Howling at the Moon, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
-and the ferns are releasing their fragile purchase on moonlight and sending scent greetings as it rises into the open sky…*
(*Ferns actually do release more scent at full-moon-)

Yes!

Hard News: The Base, in reply to Deborah,
Pervasive anti-intellectualism?
I think it goes waaay deeper than that -y’know, artists -musicians, sculptors, painters, dramatists, other writers, dont even mention poets-& such (who are not perceived as intellectuals, merely as irrelevancies) et al-
