Staying on strange people's divans and eating food from dumpsters is not someothing who is easily otherwise abled does rationally.

  Nor is she a librarian. She is a poet. Librarianship is a profession that requires (or so I am told) an advanced degree in Library Studies. If she were the itinerant poetry doctor would that be any less odd.

  That said I feel that there was a great deal of license taken with that article and I hope for the woman's sake and her mother's sanity she is housed and fed by responsible people with whom she has made prior arrangements.
