bookstore with that lost independent feel -- a relaxed, inviting environment conducive to discovery, where quality takes precedence over quantity, where the books marginalized by commercial concerns have a home. If you come in looking for something specific, we will have it or we will find it for you. If you come in looking for nothing in particular, you can lose yourself in a world of new ideas.

July 11th from 1:00pm to 3:00pm: Chris Bowen Poetry/Writing Workshop
Chris Bowen was born in Cleveland after the birth of the burning river, the day the Cuyahoga River caught fire, but knew then that books carry a scent, a color, a moment; that they could define a life, if a life was devoted to them. And words. Especially nouns. Especially verbs.
Chris runs the Burning River website and is also the publisher of the Literary journal Noun Versus Verb, an idea and a principle that words are universal, that creativity above destruction drives the human race and that somewhere, maybe buried deep in time and space, there is a river that can, will and did catch fire.
Join Chris in a monthly workshop where he will be available for writing assistance, bouncing ideas off of or just an ear to hear your most recent work.
