That’s one big book

The University of Iowa Libraries has a new book in its collection -- a 100-volume, 10,000-page, 2-feet-thick book of poetry.

The book, Poetry City Marathon, written by Iowa City poet Dave Morice of Dr. Alphabet fame, is the culmination of a 100-day poetry marathon this summer. The final product is 10,119 pages, which was bound in a single volume by Bill Voss of the UI Libraries Preservation Department.
