Sunday Picnic with Kites
Jan. 12th, 2014 10:11 amalee_grrl
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.

Date: 2014-01-12 05:27 pm (UTC)I was reminded of her series yesterday while reading an interview of Praweeta Sharma (page 78): http://willowsprings.ewu.edu/interviews/sharma.pdf
As for why I was reading about Sharma -- I got curious about her after following Luisa Igloria's link to "A Situation for Mrs. Biswas."
