This bookstore shut down last year, but we're temporarily open again NOW THROUGH JULY 31st for customers placing orders of $35 or more. Shipments will go out twice per week (typically Tuesday and Saturday). We've cut prices on most of our inventory and magazines will be sold at a 20% discount, which will be calculated after your order is placed. Shipping is a flat rate of $3.50 media mail for US orders.

Every sale should have a goal. This time, the goal is to free up enough space in the office that I can give that (bigger) bedroom to my two boys, Aidan and Eamonn. So, don't just look at it as simply buying books, you're making two little boys very happy.

Description:

"I have said, I think, that these poems are interpretations of what the poet sees on the canvas. I add that they are imaginary biographies, as true as anything that actually happened: they are biographies written the other way around, from the evidence of the art. Pablo Picasso's relationship with women, for instance, as when

he left her a twisted, flattened shell,
curled like wet canvas on his padded chair,
mouth soundlessly screaming
from the same side of her face
that both eyes now started from.

Isn't that, don't you think it is, the way it (actually, metaphorically, what's the difference) happened?"
— from the Introduction by Theodora Goss
