A kept book
Commonplace
Borrowed lines, fragments, and remembered passages I keep close.
A commonplace book is an old habit: a notebook where one copies down the lines, poems, and passages that earn a second reading. Mine has lived in margins, in apps, on scraps of paper. This is its public shelf.
Poems, quotes, and fragments I've collected over the years: words that resonated best, parked here so you can enjoy them too.
