BIG NEWS!

We're Moving!

We were waiting until we had something concrete to tell you...and here it is! They poured the concrete flooring in our new store. We're moving to The Mark in the next few months. We are so excited to be starting from the ground up! Our new address will be 117 S. Pineapple, right around the corner from where we are now. We'll be posting pictures as the work progresses, and we'll share our move-in day as soon as we have the date. Thank you for your support as we continue to improve.

We have construction sites on our mind. In 2009 members of the construction team which built Poets House's new home in New York joined actor Bill Murray for the first poetry reading. What fun!

For this week's poetry collection, we recommend Ted Kooser's The Poetry Home Repair Manual...a book we hope to not need any time soon. Purchase here.

Exciting New Arrivals

When Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is asked to provide crowd control at a statistics lecture given at the Université de l'Estrie in Quebec, he is dubious. Why ask the head of homicide to provide security for what sounds like a minor, even mundane lecture?

The author of the bestseller This Tender Land returns with a prequel to his Cork O'Connor series--a book about fathers and sons, long-simmering conflicts in a small Minnesota town, and the events that echo through youth and shape our lives forever.
