give me books, Fruit,
French wine
and fine weather
and a little music out of
doors, played by
Someone I do not know.

February Poetry Club: To Celebrate the Year of the Tiger and Our Birthday!

Chinese believes that the first human being was born on the 7th day of
the first month in Chinese lunar calendar which falls on different day and
month in Gregorian calendar. So some celebrate their birthdays 3 times
a year. This year our general birthday will be on the 20th of February
Gregorian calendar. Thus, we are going to celebrate the Year of Tiger
and our birthday in February poetry club!

A Fortune-Teller
Told Me
Tiziano Terzani
(1938 - 2004)

Who reads poetry
Any more?
Its exalting power
Has been clean
Forgotten!
And yet a poem can
Light a fire in the
Breast as strong as
The fire of love.
Better than whisky,
Better than Valium
Or Prozac,
A poem can lift the
spirit,
Because it raises
The vantage point
From which we see
The world.

If you feel lonely you
Can find more
Company by reading
Poetry than by
Switching on the
Television.

We look forward to seeing you at The Book Attic where browsers are always welcome.

Auspicious Wish
At this very moment, for the peoples and the nations of the earth, may not even the names disease, famine, war, and suffering be heard.
Rather may their moral conduct, merit, wealth, and prosperity increase, and may supreme good fortune and wellbeing always arise for them.
