Round Up

R.I.P. Adrienne Rich

It's National Poetry Month.

Next week (April 8-14, 2012) is National Library Week.

Great post about libraries in lighthouses over at the Library History Buff Blog.

Good tips for researching science information.

Diggin'-Bess Lovejoy, Panera's Mediterranean Egg White Sandwich-it's vegetarian, I think the photograph of the sandwich is something else-looks like it has bacon and Happy Goat Caramel Sauce (scroll down the page for the sauce).

Would love to try the Salty Pimp.

Article about pop-up libraries.

Earth Science Picture of the Day and Molecule of the Month.

Books that have caught my eye: Cloudette (Macmillan) by Tom Lichtenfeld and Babel No More: The Search for the World's Most Extraordinary Language Learners (Free Press) by Michael Erard.

Are you a lover of essays?  Wander over to The Pedestrian.

Yum-Fonuts.

Child authors.

Sad, but oh so true article about race in The Hunger Games and the racial state of this society-very, very , very sad, but not surprising.

Article about the Nelson Mandela Digital Archive.   Reading the letter he wrote to his daughters will bring tears to your eyes.

That's all for this week.  Have a good one.

Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.
