\"\"<\/a>In you\u2019re in the New York area, tomorrow is the last day to see the unmissable exhibition of rare Emily Dickinson manuscripts and letters at Poets House<\/a>. This is the first time much of this material has been on view; who knows when it will be again. It\u2019s also worth making the trip to see poet and artist Jen Bervin\u2019s striking quilts, which are stitched according to the symbols and corresponding variant words in Dickinson\u2019s fascicles. \u2014Nicole Rudick<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>In the early 1930s, the young English poet Basil Bunting taught himself Farsi with a dictionary and a copy of the Iranian national epic, the Shahnameh, given to him by Ezra Pound. (\u201cIt\u2019s an easy language,\u201d Bunting explained, \u201cif it\u2019s only for reading you want it.\u201d) The translations he made are collected in Bunting\u2019s Persia<\/em><\/a>, a slim book, including excerpts from the Shahnameh and lyrics like this one by Sa\u2019di:<\/p>\n

Without you I’ve not slept, not once in the garden
nor cared much whether I slept on holly or flock,
lonely to death between one breath and the next
only to meet you, hear you, only to touch …<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I read it on Valentine\u2019s Day. \u2014Lorin Stein<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week I found myself fascinated by the New York City Graffiti & Street Art Project<\/a>, an experiment by the library of Lewis & Clark college that charts the most interesting examples of street art across the city, sorted by neighborhood, media type, subject, and more. \u2014Deirdre Foley-Mendelssohn<\/strong><\/p>\n

I just stumbled upon this breezy interview with cartoonist Lee Lorenz<\/a> from last year. Part of The Comics Journal<\/em>\u2019<\/em>s \u201cKnow Your New Yorker<\/em> Cartoonist\u201d column, the conversation is an endearing remembrance of a life in pictures, with the added pleasure of some insider gossip. \u2014Josh Anderson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Try P\u00e4r Lagerkvist\u2019s The Dwarf<\/em><\/a> for a healthy dose of fiery medieval homuncular\u00a0misanthropy. Great reading material for long, slow queues, crowded subway rides where even the conductor is\u00a0exasperated, and angry times in general. \u2014Emma del Valle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seventeenth-century love letters, Latin bibles, a Shelley manuscript, and English children\u2019s stories: I\u2019ve suddenly discovered the Morgan Library\u2019s blog<\/a>. \u2014D.F.M.<\/strong><\/p>\n
