“Salem Public Library, East Main Street, Salem, VA 24153” A happy book, thought-stained, and often-read: An anthology of Russian poetry
Salem, Virginia must be a marvelous town A library stocked with poetry, and stocked With poetry readers who have turned again And again to favorite pages here and there
Long-ago poets murdered by the Soviets But finding love at last in Salem, Virginia
