Writerly Treasures


Following Someone Else’s Trail

What Writerly Treasures Do You Keep?

I don’t think there is anyone who calls herself a writer who hasn’t collected Tools of the Trade. 

I just added another book to mine. It is a heavy book, around 3 pounds maybe, almost 1400 pages. I bought it used. And when I opened it I discovered added value.

The previous owners of this book of poetry added notes in the margins, highlights and other marks. I can mosey through the pages and pick up on the trails of readers who came before me. 

The new book on my shelf is the Norton Anthology of Poetry, the Shortened 5th edition.
