Who Left A Tree, Then A Coffin In The Library?
Who is leaving masterful paper sculptures in this library?
“Last spring, Julie Johnstone, a librarian at the Scottish Poetry Library in Edinburgh, was wandering through a reading room when she saw, sitting alone on a random table, a little tree.
It was made of twisted paper and was mounted on a book.
Gorgeously crafted, it came with a gold-leafed eggshell broken in two, each half filled with little strips of paper with phrases on them. When reassembled properly, the strips became a poem about birds, “A Trace of Wings” by Edwin Morgan.
What was this?”

Go. Read. Weep with pleasure, and in frustration that you don’t live in Edinburgh.
