Welcome to Leaves of Bark, where we document the nexus between poetry (the spoken and written word) and librarianship (the keepers of libers, of books, of bark). Both poet and librarian are essentially scribblers on bark (even if our bark is now comprised of electronitc bits and bytes)
Throughout history some of our greatest poets have been librarians, and some of our best librarians have been poets. Such creators have found inspiration in the brilliant catacombs of library stacks...and maybe you are one?
We have a page for famous Dead Poet Librarians of the Past, and a growing list for both US and International Living Library Poets.
