We miss our collections, so this month we are revisiting a few favorites from the archive.
Friendship albums first became popular in the United States in the 1820s, and were especially popular among young people. This album, compiled by Margaret Williams, includes a few wonderful examples of woven hair art made from locks of hair from her closest friends. In this time of social distancing, these cherished and sentimental odes to friendship seem especially poignant.

A Portrait of the MA Student as a Young Woman
"Poetry survives because it haunts and it haunts because it is simultaneously utterly clear and deeply mysterious; because it cannot be entirely accounted for, it cannot be exhausted." — Louise Glück
Kat, late 20s, cat mom to Keats, eighteenth-centuryist, Virginia Woolf enthusiast
