Desdemona and the Deep by CSE Cooney

I am blessed! I got to read this early.
But you, dear friend, I envy the chance to read it with fresh EYES that have not yet consumed the decadence of these words. Or maybe it's your EARS that get to enjoy the sharp sultry prose of these pages. Either way, what bliss!
In Cooney's own words:
"A poet is in love with the world. She is like a virus born of love; she must travel to live, and her vehicle is poetry. Was it any wonder a poet is the preferred candidate for travel between the worlds?Desdemona was not a poet."
But let me tell you... Desdemona is fierce, tenacious, completely ridiculous and entirely entrancing. I love her despite myself and almost as much as I love FARKLEWHIT!
