[Michlib-l] Free book for poetry month!

[Thomas Trahey]

  Happy Poetry Month! We have several extra copies of *Shelter* by poet
Margaret Hasse and artist Sharon DeMark
<https://www.margarethasse.com/shelter.html>. I will send one to the first
24 libraries that say they are interested.
 While quarantined during covid, Hasse collaborated with her neighbor and
colleague DeMark to create this book. One of them would send over a piece
of work that would inspire the other's art. This collaboration explores the
different meanings and types of shelter.

Here's an example:

"Hug" from Shelter Margaret Hasse, poet, and Sharon DeMark, artist

To fit together

is one branch

in the language

roots of “arm.”

How regrettable

that arms name

hardware of war.

The only right

to bear arms safely

is the caring capacity

of our amazing

appendages that

comfort and caress,

have and hold,

cradle and rock,

clasping each other

close.
