Sunday Picnic Brings All the Poets To the Yard

[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.

Busy week -- only a canto of Orlando Furioso, a hexagram poem, and a lot of comfort rereading. But I've a couple hours of time to myself today, and am about to turn off the wifi.

Enjoy your downtime today! Sometimes a few quiet hours all to yourself is the best thing in the world.

It was indeed a helpful before diving back into copyediting.

But I forgot to mention two recent finds while hanging around in used book stores: The Oxford Book of Sonnets and a collection of Pushkin that includes all the major narrative poems outside of Eugene Onegin.
