I haven’t been to the library in ages, other than for library sales.  But I recently discovered that one my favorite poets has a biography with his very own illustrations in it, so I had to go pick it up.

The Enormous Room by E.E. Cummings

I’ve never participated in Library Loot before because I’ve generally stuck all my books in the Mailbox Monday posts.  But since I forgot that I picked up my long-awaited library books over the weekend, I figured I would join in the fun.  So here it goes:

1.  Nadirs by Herta Muller, who recently won the Nobel Prize in Literature, check out my article on her, here.

2.  Unmasked by Ian Halperin
