The Itinerant Poetry Librarian

The Itinerant Poetry Librarian

I can’t remember how I ran across this site, but it’s kind of cool. A woman who travels around promoting “lost and forgotten” poetry. No idea what is classified as lost and forgotten or whether it’s worth promoting, I just like the idea of an Itinerant Poetry Librarian.

There’s also a great quote on the masthead from Margaret Herdman: “Freedom from even a semipermanent location with other materials promotes greater flexibility to meet the constantly changing variety of reader demands”

From the About page: “The Itinerant Poetry Librarian is a writer, artist & independent research scholar. She has previous bedroom empire experience. In May 2006 she was engaged by The Poetry Cubicle as an agent poesie, responsible for installing a Library of ‘Lost & Forgotten’ Poetry around the world. Ten countries and fourteen cities later it is 2007. She currently eats, sleeps and lives wherever her Library is.”
