About

This is part of a public literature project at Metropolitan State University in Saint Paul, MN. PostLit is the gathering and anonymous (re)distribution of gathered favorite book quotes in hopes that, probably forever unknown, persons may happen upon a little joy in the discovery of these cards.

Favorite bits of literature have been collected from friends and family via social media and email. In some cases, only favorite book titles were given and quotes were chosen by me. The lit bits were typed on postcards and the cards anonymously (Re)distributed around town, and a few were mailed.

It is lovely to see what bits of literature are important to people.
