Paul Auster, 1947–2024 💌
“O Captain! My Captain!” On this last day of National Poetry Month behold this item from the @librarycongress Manuscript Division: Printed copy of one of Walt Whitman’s most popular poems with handwritten corrections by him. #NationalPoetryMonth
Carol Ann Duffy became Poet Laureate OTD in 2009. Photos from her 2016 poem on the phasing out of gas meters: ‘Like monks in cells, the meters, counting / well-thumbed, numbered days and nights / beneath the energy-saving lights / as though murmuring prayers.’
'Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Major Major it had been all three.' Joseph Heller, author of #Catch22, was born on this day in 1923!
Photograph of the room in the Greek Hospital of Alexandria where Cavafy died on 29 April 1933. Some of his personal items can be seen, such as his hat, suitcase and a notepad with pencil. Cavafy Archive.
Paul Auster as a student participating in the 1968 occupation of Columbia University, as seen in Peter Whitehead's The Fall (1969). safe travels
We are very sad to hear of the death of Booker Prize shortlistee Paul Auster, whose work touched readers and influenced writers all over the world, and whose generosity was felt in just as many quarters. We extend our condolences to his wife Siri Hustvedt and his family
The superb 20th century poet, Stevie Smith, lived in this house in Palmers Green, North #London for most of her life. She was 4 in 1906 when she moved in and remained until her death in 1971. #writers #travel @PoetsGreen
‘April is over, April is over.’ (F. Scott Fitzgerald)
I often had him in mind when I walked the streets. He was so very present. It was just simply that his chair was empty, so to speak. — Lawrence Durrell, honoring Cavafy b. 29 April 1863 (Alexandria) d. 29 April 1933 (Alexandria) Cavafy's Flat Rue Lepsius, Alexandria
sylvia plath explained floor time perfectly..
OTD in 1900 James Joyce wrote to translator William Archer, who had relayed Henrik Ibsen’s gratitude for his review of When We Dead Awaken: “I am a young Irishman, eighteen years old, and the words of Ibsen I shall keep in my heart all my life.”
- Anaïs Nin, The early diary of Anaïs Nin
Every weekend I think of the best diary entry ever:
“I should be in awe of the living.” A poem by Hieu Minh Nguyen.
April 27. Old father, old artificer, stand me now and ever in good stead. - A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
‘I asked if you heard the rain in your dream / and half dreaming still you only said, I love you.’ Edwin Morgan, Scottish poet and translator, was born #OTD in 1920.
April 26. . . . I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race. - A Portrait of the Artist

Today we re-framed Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait. We replaced the late 19th century gothic fantasy frame with a newly acquired somber gilded 15th century moulding. The figures appear larger and the details crisper without the competition of the incongruous carving.

@LibnOfCongress @deadpoets_live @librarycongress One of my favourite poems. First read it when I was 15. Leaves of Grass, which includes this poem, is extraordinary.

Revisit a 1995 essay by Paul Auster, who died yesterday, at 77, that addresses the question: Why write? nyer.cm/FugJdfD
Yes Dostoevsky, this is exactly how existing feels
The death of Paul Auster reminds me that the Boomer generation are leaving us earlier than I expected. There are some moving passages about this in Salman Rushdie’s Knife (underlined at speed when reviewing) in which he writes: “Death was showing up at the wrong addresses.”
Our movement is getting stronger every day🧡 If you agree that child refugees deserve to be safe and with family, join the fight for safe routes: safepassage.org.uk/campaign
'Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Major Major it had been all three.' Joseph Heller, author of #Catch22, was born on this day in 1923!
