The following are a set of icons inspired by Catherynne M Valente's prose poem entitled Z (found in her book Apocrypha). It is a surreal, horrifying, vivid journey -- following the alphabet, but not exactly. It's hard to describe. But its wonderful and I highly recommend it. The following icons (12 in total) come from parts A-G (except for the two fandom icons). Please credit me, and I'd love to know what you take!

Oooh! I love these! I'm adding to my memories and will credit profusely when I use them.

Thanks!

Well, I didn't take any of the icons, but was intrigued enough to order the book containing Z. Does that count? ;)

She sounds like a fascinating writer - have you ever heard of Frank Bidart? His book "The Second Hour of the Night" has a similar "sound" to the poetry of CMV that I was able to Google.
