#books flying in the library

640-year-old fly, anyone?

We're not sure how long this fly has been in this 14th-century notary's notebook, but it was a favorite among the students who spotted it in class a few weeks ago.

This life we live nowadays. It's not life, it's stagnation death-in-life. Look at all these bloody houses and the meaningless people inside them. Sometimes I think we're all corpses. Just rotting upright.

George Orwell, Keep the Aspidistra Flying, 1936

do you have any poetry collection recommendations/poet recommendations in general just to like Read?

boy do i ever!!!

okay i have two all time top favorite poets (not ranked in a particular order):

1. Louise Glück: There was actually an anthology published of all the books so published from the start of her career to 2012.

(Poems 1962-2012 is 600+ pages of incredible poetry and relatively cheap, especially for its size and considering poetry tends to cost more than fiction books)

Glück’s poetry is actually the reason I started reading more poetry in the first place. She writes both long form and short form poetry (with her more recent working being longer than a lot of her previous poems), and her language level tends to be pretty accessible.

She writes about hundreds of different topics, but reading from the anthology you get a large mix of themes about motherhood, love, and nature and she also has collections that focus on greek mythology as well as jewish religion.

She has won a Nobel Prize for her poetry, which I consider to be a pretty good way to gauge the caliber of her work!

Highly, highly recommend her work!!

2. Ocean Vuong.

I’ve read his three most recent works: Night Sky With Exit Wounds, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, and Time is a Mother.

On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is actually a novel rather than a poetry collection but it reads a lot like poetry and I consider it to be an must-read.

A lot of his works center around his his experience as a queer, Vietnamese American and his relationship with his own intrapersonal identity as well as with his mother. I cant think of a single poem of his that isn’t absolutely incredible, and I think if you’re going to talk about the best poets of our age he’s a crucial mention.

I highly recommend reading his works in publishing order (which is the way I listed them above). His poetry is genuinely life-changing and I cannot stress how much I recommend his writing.

Outside of my two favorite authors I also recommend:

–Amanda Gorman, who is the youngest inaugural poet in U. S. history and is shaping the voice of modern poetry.

You can watch her recite her inaugural poem, “The Hill We Climb” here!

She also has published a collection of her poetry, Call Us What We Carry, which I read all in the same day I bought it because it’s brilliant and captivating.

—The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo, which is a fiction novel but the main character narrates the story through her own poetry, making it a poetry collection and a novel all in one. I read this for the first time when I was 13 and I pick it up again every single year.

(I do also highly recommend looking up trigger warnings for this book before you read it, because there are a couple scenes that can be intense!)

—The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On by Franny Choi. It’s likely you’re familiar with this quote from it (which i see circulating tumblr and pinterest all the time):

“Lord, I confess I want the clarity of catastrophe but not the catastrophe. Like everyone else, I want a storm I can dance in.

I want an excuse to change my life.”

And I can guarantee the rest of this poetry collection is just as poignant and beautiful! Highly recommend, 10/10 stars always.

—Pablo Neruda is also one of my favorite poets! I own a large collection of his poetry, The Poems of Pablo Neruda, which places the original poem, written in Spanish, next to the English translation, which I enjoy a lot. He also has a lot of well-known quotes that float around tumblr a lot, so that sense of familiarity can be fun, especially when you’re not expecting it!

Hope you enjoy these recommendations!

#this is actually a funny request right now because whenever i recommend poetry i go through my own personal book collection #and i’m moving to college in less than a week (and flying with a limited amount of bag) so a lot of my favorite books are going #to be left behind and every single book on this list owns a well loved place in my collection #so i have DECISIONS to make #especially because i can’t guarantee that what i leave behind will ever come back into my possession #but anyways!! i am always down to discuss poetry #my sister also just gifted me a collection of all the poems she’s ever written and i wish i could just telepathically communicate it to you #but alas she has not yet taken my advice to publish any of her poetry anywhere😔 (except for in my personal library ofc) #i also donated a lot of my books recently and there was a really good poetry book in there i can’t remember the title or author of😭😭 #ask #poetry #recs #me re-reading this list realizing how american it is clearly i have a bias

"I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you."

HEAR ME OUT: Lilith and Steve in a queer platonic relationship in the future. Like they live in the same house and are super close and every time someone goes “Awe what a cute couple” they both start laughing hysterically

#lilith clawthorne #steve tholomule #the owl house #toh #makes full use of the fact that Steve has an add on seat and that Lilith can fly #“Steve we need to go to the library at once!” “Yes’m.” #“Ya know I kinda wish I could ski today- oop and we’re flying” “where at? The knee or the left hand?” #they lay on eachother like cats when napping #Lilith taking a page out of Eda’s book and building a ‘nest’ but it’s actually an intricately constructed mattress type thing #I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE FUN #caps tw

Just read Tender is the Flesh (in one day - definitely a page turner if nothing else.) I recommend it ONLY IF you are a fan of horror novellas and can stomach extremely disturbing content. Since I like a short story horror vibe, it was worth the read for me, but I wouldn’t reread it. The world building is decent; the premise and historical timeline is sort of ridiculous, but you need to just suspend your disbelief; there are no redeeming moments and my bf characterized his feelings after reading it as “icky.” Do with this information what you will.

#I know this doesn’t sound like a recommendation and that’s bc I can’t actually recommend this broadly #just due to every trigger warning on earth lol #but if it sounds like your vibe get it from the library you’ll fly through it #review #tender is the flesh #books #booktok

GOOOOO BIRRRRDDDDSSSSSS!!!!!

Librarians and football aren't typically heard in the same sentence, but here at the Othmer Library our librarians are big football fans! The Philadelphia Eagles are our team and we are so excited to watch them take on the San Francisco 49ers this weekend for the NFC Championship Game.
