Thank you so much everyone! I never expected so many people would join. If the meeting is successful, I hope to make this into a monthly thing.
[ The room is decorated in such a fashion, it looks strikingly similar to your typical Japanese high school classroom, complete with desks, chalkboards and various poster. There are also books, five on each desk. Most of them tend to be fictions and poetry books taken from the Curti Center's library. There are also short stories, dramas, romances, comedies and of course, horror stories. ]
Most people think it's boring, but literature can be anything. Reading, writing, singing. Poetry, legends, history. [A smile] We all practice literature every day without realizing it.
[ There are also refreshments placed on a few desks. Mostly water and cola as well as a homemade cake. Only one thought. One cake for... Twenty people? Monika might not have expected that many members. Please don't tear each other apart over that cake. ]
We have some time until the poem sharing session, so feel free to relax, read some of the books I brought or get to know each other! Words really bring us together. So let's make the best of this, alright?
