Never mind livestreaming, even the thought of it is causing me emotional damage. Better instead to find and support people still endeavouring to do good.
I hadn’t realised how starved of good moss poems i was till this Lydia Harris pamphlet from Scarlet Tiger Press arrived.
Just in! New Nobel Prize laureate in literature Anne Carson stands surprised in her kitchen in Reykjavík, Iceland. Stay tuned for our exclusive interview with her coming soon. Join us in congratulating our 2026 literature laureate - send your greetings in the comments.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️
