Laurel Hoyt, thinking about a solstice-related reading on Wednesday.
Yes, that's a day late. Whitman is the summeriest poet I can think of, so unless someone has a better idea: midday reading of Song of Myself, Irving Park, next Wednesday. If no one comes i can read it to myself but company is better.

Abi's Garden

Just a couple of images from Abi's beautiful, super green garden in hot Kentucky. She is always out here working and talking about it and speaking Latin names of plants. It is most definitely her work towards the BEST SUMMER EVER.
