A note from Laura: I love poetry, and I was delighted to hear that Louise Glück has received the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature. Glück’s work touched me as a young woman and inspired me as a writer. From our shelves, you can read her 2006 work, Averno. You can place holds for her other works in LINKcat.
Over the last few years, I’ve worked to expand the contemporary poetry collection at Monroe Public Library, with an eye toward the diversity of voices currently writing. Here are some poets for you to consider. Take a look next time you’re at the library!
