Last week Katie braved the heat and visited librarian Dr. Abbie Weil at Swarthmore College’s McCabe Library. What fun: Together Katie and Abbie pulled and listened to poetry records from the library’s amazing spoken word collection. This fall the Consonant Collective will cut records of student poetry for a literature class, and beforehand we will play records from the collection for the students to enjoy. Dorothy Parker, Nikki Giovanni, the Dial-a-Poem project, Allen Ginsberg, Sidney Poitier reading "Poetry of the Black man" in his beautiful voice, Vachel Lindsay (what a character!), Sylvia Plath at Harvard—there is a lot of cool stuff here to inspire the students (and us). Thanks for the experience, Swarthmore!
