Goodbye to July Picnic

[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.

This week's most excellent find while waiting around in used book stores: an anthology of territorial Arizona poetry -- that is, poems written in and about Arizona before it became a state in 1912. Well, there's some poems from the two decades after that, but the bulk is from the 1800s.

So, period cowboy poetry, instead of the modern genre of nostalgia.
