Fantasy list poem "Sorcerous Evolution" originally published July 16, 2007, in the webzine The Sword Review and also published August 2008 in Abandoned Towers (online) and August 2023 in the now out-of-print double-length speculative poetry collection Cosmic Journeys and Gothic Visions.
I love how I shoved this one chock-full of archaic and obscure words. Yes, dweomercraft is an actual word — I found it in the obscure words section of an old dictionary I had from the early 20th century. Sadly, I had to dispose of that monstrous leather-bound dictionary after living in a "luxury apartment" with a terrible mould infestation.
