Books and Libraries: Poems | 
pickAwesome collection of poems, one of my favorite in the series I think. I really liked quite a lot of the poems. My only hang-up was that the editor didn‘t include dates of the poets, so I didn‘t have a reference of their era, and they do that in all the other collections.

Today I stayed local to my Airbnb & hit Old Town Books in Old Town Alexandria, VA. I‘m super excited about the tagged.
Some recent #bookmail , including the latest #BetsyTacy Society newsletter. The tagged book was one I‘ve seen @LeahBergen and other Littens post about. But the one I‘m most excited about is Felicia, a children‘s book about a cat who turns into a little girl. I‘ve never seen a copy that wasn‘t priced at hundreds of dollars, so I was thrilled to find a copy on eBay for $13 (including postage! 😸)

I'm the fool
Of the night seasons,
Reading anything, anything."

pickI loved this little volume of poetry set in sections such as The Love of Books, Because of Libraries, Marginalia, to Rethinking Books and Reading from poets from Wordsworth, to Borges, to Larkin and Dove. My favorite microhistory books to read are about books and libraries and I also love poetry, so this was the perfect book to add to my collection. I loved it!
Today‘s book mail was this lovely little Everyman‘s Library Pocket Poets edition. Isn‘t it pretty?
I figured with a theme like this it might get me reading a bit more poetry!
