RONDA'S CORNER

We have several new titles in the Professional Library.

**Philip Larkin Collected Poems (4 copies)** This book contains the poem **Church Going** that is on the Common Core list for Grade 12. One of the best-known and best-loved poets of the English-speaking world, Philip Larkin had only a small number of poems published during his lifetime. Collected Poems brings together not only all his books—The North Ship, The Less Deceived, The Whitsun Weddings, and High Windows—but also his uncollected poems from 1940 to 1984. This new edition reflects Larkin's own ordering for his poems and is the first collection to present the body of his work with the organization he preferred. Preserving everything he published in his lifetime, the new Collected Poems is an indispensable contribution to the legacy of an icon of -century poetry. IL: AD / Lexile: NP

** Out of the Dust (25 copies) ** Th is gripping story, written in sparse first-person, free-verse poems, is the compelling tale of Billie Jo's struggle to survive during the dust bowl years of the Depression. With stoic courage, she learns to cope with the loss of her mother and her grieving father's slow deterioration. There is hope at the end when Billie Jo's badly burned hands are healed, and she is able to play her beloved piano again. The 1998 Newbery Medal winner.
