Did You Miss Us?, Ep. 221
Welcome to The Librarian Is In, The New York Public Library's podcast about books, culture, and what to read next.
Hey all! We're baaaaack!
July was an exciting month for us: Frank and Crystal had birthdays. Jefferson Market is open (finally!) and Frank found some podcast fan mail. Crystal is helping put together some YA book lists. And books were read! Don't forget to reserve your copy of the next book club book: Goliath by Tochi Onyebuchi.
Frank read:
Always Crashing in the Same Car: On Art, Crisis & Los Angeles, California
by Matthew Specktor
Blending memoir and cultural criticism, Matthew Specktor explores family legacy, the lives of artists, and a city that embodies both dreams and disillusionment.
Crystal read:
Dear God. Dear Bones. Dear Yellow.
by Noor Hindi
What is political poetry and linguistic activism? What does it mean to bear witness through writing? When language proves insufficient, how do we find and articulate a pathway forward? Dear God. Dear Bones. Dear Yellow. interrogates, subverts, and expands these questions through poems that are formally and lyrically complex, dynamic, and innovative.
