It’s National Poetry Month and I’ve been wandering around my house, stacking books, creating book spine poetry. Maria Popova at Brainpickings has been posting her own poems and credits Nina Katchadourian’s Sorted Books project as her inspiration.
I have several piles but am happy enough with two of them to share them. In each case, the first book is the title.
The first, a story of learning to love:
The Awakening
Behind a mask
Love without wings
Onward
Crossing to Safety
Only the River Runs Free
The Books:
The Awakening by Kate Chopin
Love Without Wings by Louis Auchincloss
Onward by Howard Schultz
Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner
Only the River Runs Free by Bodie and Brock Thoene
And then a more magical piece:
The Dream Merchants
Winter Street
World’s end
Where wizards stay up late
Drawing down the moon
The Dragons of Eden
The Books:
The Dream Merchants by Harold Robbins
World’s End by Neil Gaiman
Winter Street by Erin Hildebrand
Where Wizards Stay Up Late by Katie Hafner & Matthew Lyon
Drawing Down the Moon by Margot Adler
The Dragons of Eden by Carl Sagan
