About This Poem

THE LIBRARY PROJECT, A VIGNETTE




Old tomes

fill vintage shelves

that bear new dust

yet computer screens gleam.


Renovation’s vibrations

turns a page.

    I love what you have done for the vignette. I can picture this scene vividly in my mind. I ove the way the poem alludes to the future and the past while set in the present. Perfect.

    Love books, have an e-reader, but still love my real books...... No shake rattle or roll here, up island a bit they sort of felt it but not here in the center of the island. Hit higher up in Haida Gwaii, no tsunami, just one big wave
