I was sorting old photos this week, and I found this photo I took at the Indiana University bookstore in Bloomington almost ten years ago: #ThrowbackThursday to the day I found myself as close to Anne Carson as I will ever get (my poem was in a book someone had laid on top of Carson's and left behind). It made me ridiculously happy. #poetry #OneHitWonder
Vertical photo of an upper corner of bookshelf holding several slim volumes of poetry by Billy Collins, E. E. Cummings, Dante, and others. A volume of Anne Carson's book Float has been pulled out to reveal its simple, dark cover. Lying on top of the books are two volumes someone has left behind. Some text has been superimposed on the photo with an arrow pointing to the bottom of these two titles (Best American Poetry 2015) and reading "My poem is in here." The walls of the bookstore are warm brown wood and a sort of pale, dusky yellow.
That's still very impressive!
(side note: Billy Collins' new book is excellent)
