The stories are about the American Midwest and feature corn fairies, farms, sidewalks, skyscrapers, the village of cream puffs, the village of liver and onions, and the Gold Buckskin Whincher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blair Banshee enjoys the word choices of Carl Sandburg. She, too, cries over beautiful things, knowing no beautiful thing lasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when Blair Banshee isn\u2019t screaming, wailing, shrieking, or keening, she collects old magazines and even older poems, some of which she may or may not share with you. There\u2019s only one way to find out. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gothtober.com\">Visit Gothtober, click on day 7!!! <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maybe it\u2019s the soft clothes, maybe it\u2019s the soft lighting, maybe it\u2019s that every step out the door feels like a step into a Mary Oliver poem, but something about &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gothtober.com\/gothblog\/2022\/10\/07\/gothtober-day-7-blair-banshees-poetic-void\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Gothtober Day 7: Blair Banshee&#8217;s Poetic Void&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15872,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gothtober.com\/gothblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gothtober.com\/gothblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gothtober.com\/gothblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gothtober.com\/gothblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gothtober.com\/gothblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15868"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.gothtober.com\/gothblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15868\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15881,"href":"https:\/\/www.gothtober.com\/gothblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15868\/revisions\/15881"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gothtober.com\/gothblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gothtober.com\/gothblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gothtober.com\/gothblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gothtober.com\/gothblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
