The ancient poet Sappho coined "sweetbitter" in one of her most evocative verses, still striking us to the heart nearly three millennia later. As with so many ancient figures, the poet is more legend than person today, her story told and retold even as her poetry continues to enchant and move. This exhibit will be on display through mid-August 2026.

Each year newly promoted or tenured faculty are asked to select a meaningful book to be plated in their honor for the University Library’s collections. This exhibit showcases the selections and their significance for faculty members promoted in 2025.
