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 is the thread for non-personal, i.e. 'general' poetry news. Submission deadlines for poetry-related 'zines, news re: poets from outside the comm, and so on.

The scifi/fantasy blog, Tor.com, occasionally posts poetry. On Halloween they shared this fun, and funny, poem.

If you have general feedback for the admins on how this past week went, please leave it here by responding to this thread. We're always interested in figuring out what particular themes, formats, contents, etc. work well for people, and which need more tweaking to work better.

(And thanks to the mods for hosting, obv.)

I'm assuming you're referring to the Poetry Trick or Treat on Wednesday? We had over fifty comments on that post, and it seemed like people were having a lot of fun - a tradition to repeat next year, methinks.

There -- a proposal for a book of translations sent out.

My challenge for the week: send a proposal a day till I run out of first round of publishers.
