Poets as librarians are not a new phenomenon. Audre Lorde was a librarian at the Mount Vernon Public Library from 1961 to 1963 and at New York City’s Town School Library from 1966 to 1968. Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges frequently included libraries in his writing, echoing his experience of working as a municipal librarian at the Miguel Cane Branch Library in Buenos Aires from 1937 to 1946. Another well-known poet librarian of the past is Philip Larkin. Larkin worked at the Wellington Public Library in England from 1943 to 1946, then switching to a career in academic libraries (University College Library; Queen’s University Library in Belfast; and University of Hull). - inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2014/librarian-as-poet-poet-as-librarian/
