This is the greatest poetry collection I ever snagged.

Image by Walters Art Museum Illuminated Manuscripts
This small anthology of Persian poetry consisting of poems by such authors as JÄmÄ«, AzÄrÄ«, Fayz̤ī, NavÄʾī, and SaÊ¿dÄ« was put together by an anonymous scribe in 1105 AH / 1693 CE. Illustrated with six miniatures, the margins of this manuscript are embellished with stenciled designs of angels, men and animals. The illumination depicts a woman holding a vase of flowers.

Will's description of meeting President Obama at the recent White House dinner celebrating poetry was hilarious. Will also recited "Theme for English B" by Langston Hughes. More information about Poetry Out Loud.
