First poem of 2026!

Yep, I'm following up right on the heels of yesterday's first story of the year with today's first poem of the year! "Dulle Griet Stages a New Assault" is out now in Strange Horizons -- and because they decided to make it part of their "Criticism" issue, and my poem is ekphrastic commentary on a painting, it comes with a brief essay from yours truly!
