poetry books

[supercheesegirl]

I packed three more boxes: photo albums, folders/notebooks, and hardback/oversize fantasy. All my LeGuin and McKinley are packed away (except The Hero and the Crown, which I won't want to go without all summer). I also catalogued all my poetry books, since it's not like anyone's reading them. I have a ton of poetry books. Going through them made me sad, because I have so many excellent books I haven't touched in three years, and also because so many of them are signed. Not just with a signature, but with a kind note from the poet. I almost cried several times, finding those. But now they're catalogued, and when I unpack them in my new apartment in Pennsylvania, I'm going to read them again and get back to being a poet. 

(I was going to post the whole list of books but LJ won't let me, it says the post is too large. Oh well, you'll all just have to wait anxiously until I get around to uploading them to librarything.)
