April is National Poetry Month and we have lots of great examples in the Brooklyn Museum Library! Ranging from the poetry of Ancient Egypt, to several editions of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass originally published in Brooklyn and books inspired by Whitman’s writings such as Walt Whitman’s faces. We also have more contemporary work that is related to the Museum and its programs such as Fabulas Feminae which was also published in Brooklyn. Another great recent addition to the Library collection is this book of erasure poems by Mary Ruefle. Our collection features lots of books that speak to the longstanding relationship between literature and art!Posted by Deirdre LawrencePhotos by Brooke Baldeschwiler -- source link
