Eight of us met for a
session of poetry with the keen anticipation of celebrating the award
of the Nobel Prize in Literature to Bob Dylan, announced only a week
before. The singer, songwriter, and composer has not responded to the Swedish Academy as
of this writing, but his many admirers were thrilled.

Thommo came along with his
guitar promising to sing some Bob Dylan numbers at the session and
lead the group in a sing-along of his most well-known song, Blowin'
in the Wind. This we did and you have clips of the singing linked
to this post below.

We were glad to use the
session to wish Sunil for his fifty-fifth birthday. The readers were
treated to samosas, cake and coffee. Sunil could not be present as
he had to go on tour to their estate in Kodagu.

We are eleven members now.
It's a convivial group and all of us try our best to prepare for the
readings and attend the sessions for the sheer enjoyment they
provide. The question was posed by KumKum whether we could find two more faithful members to attend, since two regulars, Gopa and Talitha, have left town.

Once again we encourage
everyone to consult the lists of Poems and Poets recited to-date when
choosing selections. Besides, there is a very powerful feature
provided by Google in the Search this blog facility at the
right of the main page.
