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 finally wrote a bit about poems about addicts: http://zirconium.dreamwidth.org/80089.html

And I linked to another poem published by unFold last week: http://zirconium.dreamwidth.org/79842.html

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.

Our next scheduled theme week will be Monday, April 28th - Saturday, May 3rd. While your lovely admins do have a slush pile of potential theme week themes, we thought we'd open this one up to suggestions from the community. What kind of themed week would you be interested in seeing? Comment on this thread to offer suggestions!

Performance / slam poetry! Daily hosts could rec their favorites from Youtube or provide video or audio of themselves performing poetry (ideally with text versions in both cases, because accessibility).

I went to an open mic on Sunday and I performed some of my poetry and I was shaking so hard and I swear the mic picked up the sound of my heart pounding but it was awesome and I got so much applause and everyone I talked to said I rocked it!
