About Drunken Library

Drunken Library is a virtual archive of previously published prose & poetry that is uncommonly read or scarcely available.

Either because of its age or its printed nature, the literature is collected by Drunken Library for your ease and convenience – to enrich your reading and writing life. 

The gathering began in 2012 when this “librarian” realized she could not bring her favorite passages to bed. Through Drunken Library’s stacks, she hopes to make great writing accessible to more readers. Please relish in the language of the past and the present.

I encourage you, dear reader, to swim through our library, dwell in the thoughts and expressions of great thinkers and creators, and begin the intimate journey of knowing thyself – and nourishing yourself – through it all.

Happy reading.
