I have a new poem out in Volume 1.2 of The Sprawl Mag.  “The Llamacorn Herd” imagines a variant of the unicorn—probably more like guanacos than llamas if you get down to it, but anyway…  I pulled from memories of climbing the steps of Barrio las Peñas in Guayaquil with my dad on one trip, and seeing the lighthouse at the top at night with my cousin on another trip.  And although they aren’t Ecuadorian, I did get some Guatemalan worry dolls from my uncle when I was a kid. 

These photos are from years ago.  The lighthouse has since been painted with a thick blue stripe curving up the length, calling to mind the spiral of a unicorn horn.  Er, llamacorn horn. 

I’ll have another writing update soon, with another new poem around the corner.
