Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Sharlene from Real Life Reading that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library.
Just one checkout this week, a poetry collection. I will probably read it this weekend.

Poetry! It is rare that we have a poetry post on Library Loot! I hadn't heard of Harjo before this so I'm off to find out more. Thanks for joining Library Loot!
