Abstract | These poems are based on my research into the history of the Folkestone Free Library (https://www.kent-maps.online/19c/19c-folkestone-free-library/) in Kent and the seaside romances readers might have accessed in the newspaper reading room. The library regularly featured in the local press and had a close relationship with the nearby Holbein Visitors’ List and Folkestone Journal. In this sense the poems are intended to complement my book Down From London: Seaside Reading in the Railway Age (Liverpool UP, 2022). However they also respond to the threatened closure of the library, following flood damage in December 2022. A local campaign to save the library is currently underway. |
