Subject: Library &/or Art Class poem(s) ??
A request!
I am leading a "Walking & Writing" Class on the University of San Francisco
Campus. We have upcoming 'writing' visits in the Library's Rare Book room
and a Sculpture workshop. Does one have any 'favorite' work which sites
itself in a Library or in an Art Workshop?? (This one is actually for
'sculpture' students).
Some eons ago, frequently lit mags would have a poem (or story) that would
take place in a bookshop. (I think those situations between the speaker and
the romantic 'sought' among the stacks have been replaced by eHarmony or
comparable date making sites! Or maybe the NYRB). Not to rule out the
romantic in any of these situations, but I welcome any kind of poem with
this kind of specific location. (I often suffer from 'aphasia' when it
comes to remembering specific poems)
(I have not read Larkin in a long time, but he must have something of the
Library, yes?)
Your suggestions much appreciated.
