The growth, success, and practical use of Leaves of Bark depends on the continual help, tips, and corrections of librarians and poets who value this effort.
If you have any additions to our list of either living or dead library-poets, please send them to: barkingbards (at) deadpoes (dot) org. When you do, include any links to the poet-librarians work if you can, as well as citations which show the librarian was a poet or the poet was a librarian.
If you are a poet who is now or ever did work in a library, and you will give permission to have a work published here, please e-mail the poem and permission and we'll post that on our Library Poetry of Today page. You can also just send a link to a poem already online. This way your colleagues around the globe will be able to taste a sample of your work.
