Literary Resource

Today was the first time I visited Poet's House (www.poetshouse.org). It was a trip worth taking. Located in Battery City Park near the World Trade Center site, it is a newly constrtucted building nestled by high rises, condominiums, and a riverside park along the Hudson River.

It is a 50,000 volume library that features poetry books, chapbooks, literary reviews, a catalogue, and a helpful staff. Workshops, classes, and reading are held on a regular basis. As a blossoming poet, I will make frequent use of this fine source of information. The library is located on the second floor where there is a lovely view of the Hudson River. I watched children play in the playground. I thought of some ideas for future pieces of poetry. One could wax nostalgic by admiring the view but I managed to concentrate on my work.
