In a beguiling collection of poems and drawings created over the course of more than 50 years, Paul Boswell celebrates the life of a mind nurtured by the books and wisdom of Western civilization. With an artist's eye for detail and a poet's ear for lyrical language, Boswell, who worked at the Library of Congress for 46 years, embarks on a tour through the worlds of literature, philosophy, history, science, music, nature, politics, and the everyday challenges and joys of life.Compiled by a modest man with no thoughts of glory, No Anchovies on the Moon is nevertheless a glorious achievement.
