I ran into this Little Free Library in the Mutter Gottes Historic District in Covington, KY last Sunday night. It was fun to browse through the books and see what had been left.

Here’s Pearls S. Buck and a look at cultural imperialism….

And Thomas Hardy’s Far From the Maddening Crowd, which is where I wanted to go after 10 hours in airports on Monday.

I’d prefer to return
to words,
poetry,
& the possibility
of new friends
over books in Mutter Gottes.
