Hello, and welcome to the Folklore & Fiction dispatch. At the summer and winter solstices, I mimic the sun and pause to reflect on my own creative work.

Hello, and welcome to the May 2022 Folklore & Fiction dispatch.

Hello, and welcome to the April 2022 Folklore & Fiction dispatch. Before I begin, one of my colleagues in Poland is volunteering much of her free time to help refugees arriving from Ukraine, so I asked what those of us who are far away from the war might do to help. She recommends donating to Lambda Warsaw, which is helping queer refugees find safety and support in Poland. She also recommends supporting the Kyiv Zoo, which is working to get animals out of the country and Kyiv Animal Rescue, which is helping animals in the country who have no one else.

Hello, and welcome to the February 2022 Folklore & Fiction dispatch. This edition is the second of three dispatches inspired by requests from followers of the Folklore & Fiction project, and we owe our thanks to Maria Diaz's interest in "The King with the Horse's Ears" for this month's discussion. In it, I'll be exploring the central motif in the tale via several folk narratives and discussing themes found in their plots.
