On my way home today, I stopped at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck, NY. There was a sign in the poetry shelf, "Stealing is Not Nice." Why there of all places? Do people steal poetry?
Oh, to live in such a world.
Where poetry is stolen, rather than ignored. Oblong has two entire poetry bookcases.
The silver lining:

Such joy, poetry robbers! Perhaps they are like Robin Hood and whisper lines they have stolen to strangers on public transport ...
ReplyDeleteI picture students from nearby Bard College doing exactly that, starting a trend, guerrilla poetry.
