#HistFicMay Day 17 What else would I like to write? I do write urban fantasy short stories, but I'd really like to develop my nature writing - many people don't seem to know what that is, so I'll point you to Robert Macfarlane or Tim Dee or Annie Dillard. https://t.co/Rf8XicN106

Cavafy's poems provided the epigraphs in my latest book (as well as, via Leonard Cohen, the inspiration for half a chapter). Excellent interview, worth reading for thoughts on literature, Cavafy, and the lenses through which we see writing and the past.🔽 https://t.co/vGPDXkEHp9
