Fun in May: Book Spine Poetry

Have you heard of “book spine poetry?" It’s a form of poetry that you don’t write from scratch; instead, you create it by arranging book titles to make a poem. During the month of May we will be posting Book Spine Poetry from time to time.  These "poems" will be composed of books from our own collection in the Library and Learning Resource Center. As a bonus, we will include links to the books in our online catalog and give a brief—Twitter size—review of each book.  

Our first Book Spine Poem is:
