The St. Louis Anthology

The St. Louis Anthology / Ryan Schuessler (ed), 240 pgs.

A collection of poems, prose and essays about St. Louis by people with a St. Louis connection.  This book shines a light on the diversity of the city, immigrants, lifers, those who love the city and some who don't.  I saw a lot of library life in this book, not only the essay about the Carpenter library branch but stories about people we see in libraries every day.  This book didn't necessarily reflect my St. Louis reality but that is a good way to be reminded how limited our experiences can be sometimes.
