Success

REMEMBER POLYTHREME

It's the work of the Pirate Poet, the renegade Clay Woman. She recalls her home: far-off, living Polythreme, where 'THE ROADS CURSE THE FEET THAT TREAD THEM,' and 'WE WERE DIVIDED, AND SET APART.'


Failure

They call this art?

The Loamsprach is dense, unpunctuated. The meter is tectonic. Try as you might, you can't dig any sense from it beyond a vague impression of drudgery.
