Red Brick Poetry

In addition to books and literature I am a flag lover. There will be a parade of different flags leading up to July 4th.
Today’s flag? I’m very excited to say I finally was able to purchase this one and I’m ultra geeked.
This is a replica of the
1st Pennsylvania Rifles Flag.
These guys were certified badasses.

Noted for their unique rifles and ability to shoot double the distance of the standard muskets with extreme accuracy. There were 9 companies and they served at 11 battles between 1775-1783. They started as light infantry then became special services—some of the first in our military history.
Their slogan was Domari Nolo— I will not be subjugated.

Great day for a poem! It’s quite a robust offering out there right now from summer poems, to Father’s Day, to gardening poems, to poems on regret and nature and the poetry books themselves are varied. It will be in there the next few weeks.

Two things:

1) I have a subscription to Poetry mainly to put in the box for yinz so make sure you take a copy from the box 😁

2) The Red Brick Library needs kids books please 📚

Thanks!
