Having trouble finding what to read during these rainy days? Come find some inspiration with our April book displays! It’s National Poetry Month, so discover a new poet with our Non-fiction display, where you will find books by poets such as Joy Harjo, Allen Ginsburg, Margaret Atwood, and Haverhill native John Greenleaf Whittier! And be sure to check out our large poetry collection as well: browse Dewey number 811 for American Poetry in English or 821 where you can become familiar with “English” Poetry poets (including Irish, Scottish, and Welsh) such as Colm Tóibín, Dylan Thomas, or John Milton.
“Up our long river-valley, for days, have not ceased
The wail and the shriek of the bitter northeast…
O soul of the spring-time, its light and its breath,
Bring warmth to this coldness, bring life to this death;
Renew the great miracle; let us behold…”
“April” by John Greenleaf Whittier
