Picnic Timeless

[jjhunter]

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.

We're in the middle of a severe culling of our library (we need to free up about a bookcase and a half of space), which means *gasp* the horror of having to wait around in used book stores while they go through a dozen-odd bags at a time.

Best find so far: The Tale of an Anklet, being a translation of Cilappatikâram, a 5th century Tamil epic. Also an anthology of Ovid translations from Chaucer through the 1990s and a very pretty haiku collection, but the epic was the real score.
