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.

Catullus On the Mind

[jjhunter]

In the course of my third round as poetry host over at poetry this week, I managed to post a neat translation of Catullus' poem no. 5 there exactly seven minutes after untonuggan posted her own translation of Catullus no. 5 at her personal journal. What makes this especially bizarre is that Liz hasn't ever posted any translations of latin poetry on her journal before, and I myself only thought of him because I recently revived my latin tutoring business.

Anyway, the poem is an excellent one, and both translations are worth checking out if you haven't seen them already.
