Spreads the blanket beneath the tree and unpacks the picnic basket

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 spent the weekend at Phoenix ComiCon, where I was on exactly one programming event, a panel on Science Fiction Poetry. Which meant I got to tell comic-book people that I was at the event as a professional poet. This geeked me to no end.

Also, I sold out all but one copy of my collection, bought the cutest ninja t-shirt ever, and got to give Peter S. Beagle a silver origami unicorn. Because when Peter S. Beagle walks by your booth and you happen have a silver origami unicorn, YOU GIVE IT TO HIM.
