Welcome to Litsy!

A friend & I were conversing about Library Of America series . He bought a bunch of the slipcased ones from a guy that was downsizing for retirement.I kinda think I‘d want them for retirement!😁Just wanted to post the first one I ever bought , love Whitman!

My bf and I attended a friend‘s wedding this past weekend out in Palmer, AK, and I was therefore laying low on the social media. One of the bride‘s friends painted this lovely sign, which the guests then wrote encouraging notes on!

“I celebrate myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.”
On this day 200 years ago ,was the day Walt Whitman was born.

1. The writing style is probably the most important thing for me. I also don‘t like YA or romance much. 2. Art supplies 🎨 3. No, but my grandparents have passed down their dessert recipes written on note cards. 4. Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson 5. Anyone who hasn‘t done this yet 😊 #wondrouswednesday

Spent Labor Day browsing at @Powells - worth the flight to Portland! Planned my whole trip around that visit #getindie

"I too many and many a time cross‘d the river of old..." Happy birthday to one of my favorite poets/New Yorkers/Americans, Walt Whitman, born this day in 1819! I highly recommend the Library of America edition of his stuff, but really, he's a poet everyone should read at least once in life.
