We confess – here at Ohrstrom, we love Poetry Month!
Started in 1996, National Poetry Month celebrates the role of poets and poetry in our culture. Here at the library, we are doing our part to share the belief that poetry matters, not just in April, but all year round. In the lobby, we have haiku dice and a Poet Tree (get it?). A few of our library proctors wowed us with their spine poetry, which is on display in the Baker Reading Room. And if you come in at the lower level, you will find our Poetry Month display.
Check out this excellent spine poetry!
“After Sappho
Belittled
Pandora
She is a Haunting
Soul of the Deep”
“All My Puny Sorrows
It All Adds Up
If I Tell You the Truth
What Could Be Saved
What We Were Promised
Ask Me How I Got Here”
“The Roadmap
Every Heart A Dorrway
Even If We Break
In the Fall They Come Back
A Line Made By Walking
Home”
“A Green and Ancient Light
Crossing To Safety
Now & Then
Tides of War
Where the Light Falls”
A quote from Ram Dass on our growing Poet Tree:
