Matt (mattymoron) | 2 comments Hello! I believe this is the correct folded to address this issue. I've been a librarian for some time and this is the first time I have encountered it.

Valencia Robin's collection, Ridiculous Light: Poems has, I believe, been designated in error as not suitable for the GR catalog. This is a pretty standard book length collection of poetry published by a longstanding independent press. The book page can be found here:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

I only discovered this while trying to shelve it. I see no reason why this collection should be deemed unsuitable for the catalog as it doesn't fit any of the suggested criteria that would render a work unsuitable and falls entirely in line with the many other collections of poetry that I have shelved and sometimes created book pages for in the past. I would be thrilled to have someone address this!

Thanks!

Ill check the manual. I didn't see the option to adjust the status, but I'll work to resolve it. Thanks.
