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.

I wrote a submission for the current challenge, and it can be viewed here. TW as the topic is loss/death in family.

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.

I wanted to share the To This Day project. To This Day is a poem to spread awareness about bullying written by Shane Koyczan. The youtube video went viral, but the website has the audio and written words as well. The author also has for sale a collection of poetry and a novel-in-verse about bullying.

There's been a lot of good poetry floating around lately about bullying and I'd be down for doing a week of poetry as a reaction to bullying at some point. Let me know, I have a decent collection, and I feel it'd make for a fun writer's challenge as well.
