(H is especially heavy.) It's all unpacked in the photo. <BR/><BR/>Those Yeats collections are different from each other: one's a "collected" and the other is a teaching copy of the "selected" (I think). <BR/><BR/>There are five books of Ammons up on the top shelf. Brink Road, Garbage, and Bosh & Flapdoodle, plus a collection or two.Isaachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529618611083147320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290662109425559453.post-57651611188883822702008-08-20T17:07:00.000-04:002008-08-20T17:07:00.000-04:00"I defy you to read the spines..."Well, in my book..."I defy you to read the spines..."<BR/><BR/>Well, in my book, anyone brazen enough to post a photo of their poetry collection is inviting response. Mine will be questions:<BR/><BR/>--Given that by the middle of the fifth self down, we're still at Plath and, early on in the sixth (of six) we have Wm Carlos Williams (yes?), is it reasonable for anyone to suspect that the Pl-Wi boxes have not yet been unpacked or, worse, lost?<BR/><BR/>--Archie Ammons, where are you?<BR/><BR/>--Do I see two (2!) dog-eared paperback Yeats completes on the bottom shelf? If so, there's a novel here.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I could go on, but won't. Just this: I really like Bidart too, especially near Elizabeth Bishop. That goes for Muldoon, not too far from Milosz. I could go on, but...Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267907649652160741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290662109425559453.post-60660337410775489352008-08-07T22:31:00.000-04:002008-08-07T22:31:00.000-04:00Lone Wolf and Cub is up top because there's not mu...<I>Lone Wolf and Cub</I> is up top because there's not much room between the top shelf and the ceiling. Alas, I have not read it. I know it wouldn't take terribly long, but I also know I have other things I need to do first. And since there's no day in my week when I <I>couldn't</I> be writing, or drawing, or using fire or whatever, it hasn't been easy for me to find time to read that magnum opus.

Those poetry volumes are slim, as a rule.<BR/><BR/>I'm pleased to see all those volumes of Lone Wolf and Cub atop your righthand comics bookcase; coincidentally, my LW&C volumes are also on one of my highest shelves. I hope that you have in fact READ all twenty-eight volumes by now, because, sir, they are outstanding.<BR/><BR/>And the Schulz Library looks like a nice, user-friendly set-up. I wonder how the Ohio comics collection compares in terms of accessibility?Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718383312170645138noreply@blogger.com
