Happy Monday! It’s another busy week for us at Spooky Librarians HQ; things will return to semi-normal after next week.

Language: The Lewis and Clark expedition added hundreds of words to the English language. 

Art: Science has discovered some fascinating secrets behind Picasso’s artwork. Also related (and referenced in the article): did you know the Louvre has its own particle accelerator for art? 

Poetry and more: The Bohemian group at Carmel, California was creative and freethinking, and then they got obsessed with death and it all fell apart, more or less. (Poets!)
