Tag Archives: Regular Haunts: New and Previous Poems

Relax and read a verse this #BookFaceFriday.

April is National Poetry Month, and we wanted to highlight Nebraskan poets and our collection of poetry here at the Commission. This week’s #BookFace, “Regular Haunts: New and Previous Poems” by Gerald Costanzo (University of Nebraska Press, 2018), is a part of the Ted Kooser Contemporary Poetry series from the University of Nebraska Press, a collection of eight titles edited by Ted Kooser. This title is being featured in our lobby for National Poetry Month and is a part of the Nebraska Publications Clearinghouse, which receives documents every month from all Nebraska state agencies, including the University of Nebraska Press (UNP). UNP books, as well as all Nebraska state documents, are available for checkout by libraries and librarians for their patrons.

If you’re looking for ways to celebrate National Poetry Month, take a look at the poetry genre from the drop-down menu on our Book Club Kit page or peruse the large collection of poetry available on Nebraska Overdrive Libraries.

“There’s that delightful surface, sparkling with wit, with satire, with wordplay, and then there’s always that something else, that mystery maybe a fathom beneath the sun on the waves.”

—from the introduction by Ted Kooser
