reading: everyman

I am seriously addicted to teeny tiny poetry books. I only have four. But I would love to have the entire Everyman library. They're so small! They fit so well in a purse or pocket! And they have lovely little ribbon bookmarks attached.


Right now I'm reading this one:



And also the Dylan Thomas (now out of print, but I found one), and also this one:



My grandmother gave me my first little book of Everyman poetry years ago and I love the little inscription on the inside:


"Everyman,

I will go with thee

and be thy guide

in thy most need to go by thy side."


A little secret: I like to take the jackets off books before I buy them (scandalous) and see what they look like underneath. These are beautiful without their jackets too. And really affordable. I have other bigger books of poetry but these are the one I seem to carry around the most.


What poetry books do you like/have you been reading lately?
