Forget Brexit! Forget the U.S. Presidential election! This is the most fun you’ll have voting all year — and this is the place where your vote counts the most!
The series of “TTL Poem Posts” is over for now, but it is still open for your comments. Please do go back and add your thoughts to the ongoing discussion. Ask questions about parts of the poems you still don’t understand; debate with the authors on areas of disagreement; share resonances when you are moved by something they say.
I plan to do another series on The Region of the Summer Stars when the time comes, so let me know who you’d like to have in that series!
Sørina Higgins is Editor-in-Chief of the Signum University Press. She holds a Ph.D. in English from Baylor University. Dr. Higgins is currently co-editing a volume on the ethical turn in speculative fiction with Dr. Brenton Dickieson and previously edited an academic essay collection entitled The Inklings and King Arthur. She is also the author of the blog The Oddest Inkling, devoted to a systematic study of Charles Williams’ works.
As a creative writer, Sørina has a volume of short stories, A Handful of Hazelnuts, forthcoming from Signum’s own press. Outside of academia, Sørina enjoys practicing yoga, playing with her cats, cooking, baking, podcasting, gardening, dancing, and ranting about the state of the world.
“Forget Brexit!” or perhaps attend to one while not neglecting the other? – anyway, ‘we’ have been discussing Brexit and the Inklings over at the blog, Bruce Charlton’s Notions, and now I just ran into this:
I used out of politeness always vote for (one of) the other candidate(s) when I was running for something, until sometimes I thought it might be nice if I got at least one vote…
Still, it’s hard to choose: it’s been a good series, and, indeed, in any case, now is the time to range around filling out the discussions, after we have had the chance to see, for example, what connections within the volume people have noted or made (as, David Russell Mosley, so nicely, within his latest contribution!).
Though maybe I should let Brenton and D.R.M. tie, for that, with Charles Franklyn Beach and Arthur Harrow tied for ‘Best- & Tidiest- More-Closely-Cropped-Bearded & Moustachioed Sch.’… (alas, I can’t properly evaluate Matthew Rettino for this category, at least on my home-screen!).
Someone ought to comb your YouTube uploads and produce a likely contender for ‘Best Audio-visual Compilation of Verse Selections’…
And I’m afraid Andrew Stirling MacDonald has me beat for ‘Best- & Wildest-Bearded & Moustachioed Sch.’ (but it looks like I’ve got ‘Best Display of Bicep While Reading’ locked up)!
Maybe, since they’re/ít’s out of copyright, someone ought to make The Film of The Book: ‘From the Panoramic Palimpsests of Byzantium comes… ‘Taliessin through Logres’, the Searing Epic They Said Could Not Be Filmed… (Featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as ‘King Cradlemas’… with Milo Yiannopoulos as ‘The Logothete’).’

I think I’ll vote for David Russell Mosley in the category ‘Best- & Tidiest-Bearded & Moustachioed Scholiast’ to start with…!
And ‘Best Audio-visual Performance’, too!

Perhaps I’d better go and take a nap, till the Muse of Old Celluloid passes on Her Vivid Way… (though if we could interest the Coen Brothers…!)
