Inspired by Poetry x30 (Continued from Page 1) Then, I left it up for a week or so to give the poems at the end of the month a chance. April 1-30. Then, I left it up for a week or so to give the poems at the end of the month a chance. I so enjoyed watching patrons stop and read the poems. I enjoyed even more helping those same patrons find the books that included the poems. And I also read and thought about each poem myself and learned that I might, after all, be a fan of at least some poetry.

I’ve updated a bit since, as I continue to read and stumble across poetic inspirations in my collection. The poems cur- rently included are:

 “Stop All the Blocks, Cut Off the Telephone” (W.H. Auden) used in “Taking Off” by Moss  “From a Distance” (Cliff Richard) used in “Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes” by Chris Crutcher  “The Red Wheelbarrow” (William Carlos Williams) used in “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green  “I’m Nobody! Who are You?” (Emily Dickinson) used in “Nobody’s Secret” by Michaela MacColl  “The Hollow Men” (T.S. Eliot) used in “Wither” by Lauren DeStefano and “The Compound” by S.A. Bodeen  “Comin’ Thro’ the Rye” (Robert Burns) used in “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger  “Psalms 147” (Holy Bible) used in “Number the Stars” by Lois Lowry  “Crossing the Bar” (Alfred Lord Tennyson) used in “Crossed” by Ally Condie  “Paradise Lost” (John Milton) used in “The Golden Compass” by Phillip Pullman  “How Do I Love Thee?” (Elizabeth Barrett Browning) used in “Delirium” by Lauren Oliver  “All is Truth” (Walt Whitman) used in “Dr. Bird’s Advice for Sad Poets” by Evan Roskos  “Lady of Shallot” (Alfred Lord Tennyson) used in “Avalon High” by Meg Cabot  “There’s a Certain Slant of Light” (Emily Dickinson) used in “Emily’s Dress and Other Missing Things” by Kathryn Burak  “For Whom the Bell Tolls” (John Donne) used in “One Piece: Volume 5” by Eiichiro Oda and “For Whom the Bell Tolls” by Earnest Hemingway  “The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock” (T.S. Eliot) used in “The Shadow Society” by Marie Rutkoski and “Dreamland” by Sarah Dessen  “Song of Myself” (Walt Whitman) used in “Paper Towns” by John Green  “Morning Song of Senlin” (Conrad Aiken) used in “A Swiftly Tilting Planet” by Madeleine L’Engle  “The First Day’s Night Had Come” (Emily Dickinson) used in “Recovery Road” by Blake Nelson  “The Highwayman” (Alfred Noyes) used in “Mark of the Gold Dragon” by L.A. Meyer  Monologue from “Hamlet” (William Shakespeare) used in “Perchance to Dream” by Lisa Mantchev  “The Road Not Taken” (Robert Frost) used in “The Rhyming Season” by Edward Averett  “The Old Church Tower” (Emily Bronte) used in “Clockwork Angel” by Cassandra Clare
