Soil-as-stew is such an accurate metaphor, I fear it may be closer to straight description, actually. Fortunately I bethought me to use "goulash" instead, a word that sounds like chewing and slurping. Thanks.

I'm going to be sending you some preparatory sketches of the Snow Flea image soon. Sketches first, lino-prints later. That's the process for me. Sounds good to me!

I guess to me "bestiary" implies creatures that are out-of-the-ordinary in some way, so I think that'll be the focus of the series. Snow fleas are pretty amazing, no doubt.

I'm excited to see who and what you pick. You’re certainly not wasting time getting going on this project! I’m excited to see who and what you pick.

Thanks for the links. That's my morning sorted out. OK, I challenge you to ease ‘spermataphore’ into another bestiary poem, if only because it’s too good to waste!

I saw my first one way back in 1989 when I climbed Mt. Greylock in Western Massachusetts. I still can't believe that a tiny invetebrate evolved to live on snow... it's like some remnant from Teutonic times. Still an amazing creature. I saw my first one way back in 1989 when I climbed Mt.
