Yesterday, Bill and I read with excitement a note on Facebook by Stuart Ross.
A new bookstore featuring poetry has opened in Rick's Café at 281 Augusta Avenue in Kensington Market.
We dropped in that afternoon and discovered a very attractive stock of poetry books.
The shop mixes new and used books. What could be better?
I bought a trade paperback of Frank O'Hara's complete poems.
Must have a good look through these chapbooks on my next visit.
Nice surprise -- I don't know this Duane Michals book. Must look it up online.
Best of luck to Jeff Kirby on his new shop -- knife | fork | book. We'll be stopping in regularly.
I must visit, looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteWe went back today and I bought a cool photobook that I had never seen before. Had a nice caffe latte too.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely, a happy shop.
ReplyDeleteYes, Dorota -- finally some good news! ;-)
ReplyDeleteDear John + William. Love your blog. Thanks for stopping (and shopping) at kfb. And this lovely shout-out. All so greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to meeting you, Kirby -- and looking forward to more great shopping!

Is poetry still relevant?
