Wicker Girls: a Lammas day reading
R. Lord, Bunny Rogers, & Ryder Ripps
August 1st, 2014
A poetry reading with R. Lord and special guests: Bunny Rogers, and Ryder Ripps, for the release of R.Lord's first self-published collection of poems, Seven Year Itch.
In observation of Lammas (or Lughnasadh), the August 1st holiday marking the start of the harvest season and celebration of Lugh, Celtic god of crafts and craftsmanship, four of today's finest artist/poets will read poems on themes of harvest, craft, longing, love, abundance, and loss, to name a few.
In our modern world, it's often easy to forget the trials and tribulations our ancestors had to endure. If crops were left in the fields too long, or the bread not baked in time, families could starve. Taking care of one's crops meant the difference between life and death. Lammas is a time of transformation, of rebirth and new beginnings. A time to reap what has been sewn.
