Angel tattoos are probably the most common designs for women worldwide. Angel tattoos can be versatile and may be used to create unique designs in a lot of different ways. Angels are thought to be one of the most beautiful heavenly creatures and represent different ideas to different individuals. Professional tattoo studios typically have a number of angel tattoos to pick from and each might possibly be altered into whatever design you'd like. Angels have represented beauty, purity, and spirituality in several different cultures throughout history. The character of a angel has often been employed to symbolize someone's transformation to a higher plane of existence, either physically, mentally, or spiritually. Most angel tattoos have a great amount of detail so the attractive nature associated with the design and style and the intricate aspects of a design can match the loveliness associated with the angels which have been depicted in literature and art.

Sara Eliza Johnson and Paradin's Emblem (The Tattooed Poets Project)

Our next tattooed poet is Sarah Eliza Johnson, who sent along this photo:


Sarah explains:
"This tattoo is an emblem from Claude Paradin's Devises Heroïques, published in 1551. I spent a long time deciding on a tattoo and vacillated a lot. I eventually settled on this one because (aside from the aesthetics) it spoke to me while I was facing and processing some really heavy stuff, and I realized that I saw my past, present, and future in these birds struck through with an arrow--each mortally wounded through the breast, but not dead, still flying with their heads lifted.
The tattoo was done by Jeny Ann Kennedy (@jenyannkennedy) at Evergreen Tattoo Company  (@evergreentattoocompany) in Fairbanks, AK."
Sarah also sent us the following poem, which is from her book Bone Map (Milkweed 2014)

Archipelago: The Paradise of Birds

How can an incorporeal light burn
corporeally in a corporeal creature?
—The Voyage of Saint Brendan

I come to a series of lights in the fog. 
The lights fly in a halo over an island. 
One light lands on the mast, cleans soot

from its feathers: a simple bird. 
Nearer, they seem stars crafted in a furnace: 
loaves for a hand to break, 

as my god broke me. If you could see 
how these miracles drag my eye 
through the fog, singing We endure

no suffering, you would understand 
why I anchor here, notch an arrow 
and step into them, braced to ignite.

An idea... (or: Economous Musgrove Chapter 1 Part 1)

I just had a crazy thought: I have an m/s that has not gone anywhere for a long while so perhaps I could share it with you all 500? 1000? words at a time. Perhaps feedback might get it moving? Perhaps it might be cool to let you all roam the Half-Continent again? It will be un-edited, first-drafty (draughty - holes in it, get it?) , and like un-spellchecked (not a real verb) but what do you think? Will the format of this blog make it too hard to read? 500 words? 1000 words? Any other problems? Benefits? Here is a sample to get things rolling and see how it works... (about 1100 words, too much?)

Still here! Still here!

Just in case you thought I had shuffled off somewhere, I am still about, honest, being very preoccupied about editing (actually a major rewrite - you should see all the green pen scribbled over each page, the inserted pages with even more green scribblings) and slack about blogging. I heard once that you need to post at least once a week to be considered a real blog, so I don't know where that leaves us... Just thought I would acknowledge that "clede" (a corruption of Mr Hranac's 'cledu' verificon word) meaning a country dance, and most likely "verger" (coined by Alyosha's daughter) meaning a builder of fortifications, might well have a place in the Half-Continent. 'Tis a bit perplexing about how such things work though; can I even have them to use? They are other people's stuff after all. I could sit here and just plunder you all and never have to come up with my own stuff - though where is the fun in that...! endless invention is ent...
