Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.

Mmmmm....pumpkin soup. :)

I loved the poem and the reading of it. Both capture the haunting nature of music and words so very nicely.

While not poetry related, I did finally manage to publish my article on asexuality. Hopefully now that I've finished that I will have some time and energy to write more poetry. :) For now though I'm going to go curl up with my lovely cat and watch something fun. ::passes around cups of warm spiced cider::

This is the thread for non-personal, i.e. 'general' poetry news. Submission deadlines for poetry-related 'zines, news re: poets from outside the comm, and so on.

The editor of 7x20 tweeted this morning that she's "still looking for Halloween poems and stories for this week": https://twitter.com/7x20/status/394528920034238464

Your mods are experiencing some overload at the moment, and so the community will be taking a short hiatus. We will be on hiatus until November 18th.

The week of November 18th through the 24th will be a community themed week, and the theme will be one of remembrance and memorial. The sign-up for the week will go up later this week.
