Ilustration Concering Books Will You Be My Friend?
Found this slim 1971 hardcover at a Little Free Library on International Book Lovers Day. I photographed some poems "I Lost You at the Martinis" among them. James Kavanaugh was a former Catholic priest who came to fame in 1967 with his controversial bestseller, A Modern Priest Looks at His Outdated Church. He later wrote bestselling books of poetry and other works and died in December, 2009 at the age of 81. I may read this mini-treasure all the way through when the sunlight isn't fading to moonlight, but for now I have some photographed poems.Rating Regarding Books Will You Be My Friend?

James Kavanaugh was ordained and actively ministered for ten years as a Catholic Priest before attending Catholic University in Washington D.C. Working on his second doctoral degree, he wrote an article for the Saturday Evening Post, entitled, "I am a Priest, and I want to marry." The article questioned the practice of celibacy among priests. The year was 1967, the height of the sexual revolution.Found this slim 1971 hardcover at a Little Free Library on International Book Lovers Day.

Not a book I'd normally pick up, but the poems have an innocence that's actually rather sweet.

Really good poems, I liked them.
Sometime this month, I finished reading another book of poetry - specifically this one by James Kavanaugh. I found it in the not-well-lit, dusty-cobweb corner of the college library - you know the part of the library you've always thought would be a great place to make out in? (just kidding - I'm exaggerating - there weren't any cobwebs). Anyways, it was good poetry written in the 60s or 70s, but without the acid trip feel that makes 60s and 70s poetry feel like great world changing hippie rock
