As a former archivist and rare book librarian at New York Public Library, and now rare book dealer and small press publisher with Granary Books, she has witnessed how “institutional practices shape our expectations of the use and value of poets’ libraries, just as they shape our understanding of the archival materials and research collections that they house.”	cache/crl-25685.pdf	txt/crl-25685.txt
