Nikki Giovanni’s Wonderful Poems Celebrating Libraries and Librarians – Brain Pickings
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 23 Nov '16

Nikki Giovanni’s Wonderful Poems Celebrating Libraries and Librarians “(You never know what troubled little girl needs a book)” BY MARIA POPOVA “A library is a focal point, a sacred place to a community,” Ursula K. Le Guin wrote in her impassioned case for the sacredness of public libraries. Thoreau saw libraries as a potent fertilizer for the human imagination and for literature itself. It’s little wonder, then, that libraries have continued to enchanted the literary imagination generation after generation. One of the most marvelous manifestations of that enchantment comes from beloved poet, activist, educator, and queer icon Nikki Giovanni (b. June 7, 1943) — a woman of great wisdom on love, friendship, and loneliness. Giovanni’s 2007 collection Acolytes (public library) includes three absolutely lovely poems celebrating libraries and librarians — please enjoy. For reading the wonderful poems go to the link: https://www.brainpickings.org/2015/12/11/nikki-giovannis-poems-library-libr… ============== -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
