Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic.

And I am ridiculously enthusiastic about the creative possibilities which are opened up when we respond to each others' work -- whether in the same genre (a poem responding to a poem) or a different genre (which is to say, an intersemiotic translation -- a video which adapts / translates a poem into a new form
