I went to the dollar book sale at BJ's Used Books that I mentioned in class, and found some poetry and books of stories by some of our locals! Retired professor, John Lent, and my current Writing & Publishing professor, Jason Dewinetz. For only a dollar each, how could I pass up these books. I look forward to reading these and hopefully being inspired to write poetry. On a sad note, BJ's isn't just having a sale, they are closing at the end of the month.
the slow passing of books. i found one of my first radical reads at BJs: Gerry Gilbert's "From Next Spring." There's not much online about that title... but here's a list of quotes from GG: http://gerrygilbert.blogspot.ca/2009/12/on-being-canadian-my-work-as-canadian.html
ReplyDeleteI'm sad that BJ's is closing. =( I remember one time I went down there with a friend and we spent at least an hour in there just browsing and having a good time. Such a sad fate! Let us know if these things rock your poetry world.
