A Day in the Life

What does a Poet Mom do when she has a Saturday all to herself?





She goes to Cambridge to the Grolier Poetry Book Shop, the oldest poetry bookstore in the United States (in operation since 1927).





Here I am with General Manager Daniel Wuenschel.





Scenes from a slow-moving car. No, I did not take the photo. This is Boston from the Cambridge side of the Charles River.


And later, I attended the Salem Arts Festival Open Mike, hosted by the lovely and talented J.D. Scrimgeour.

Yours truly.

Lastly, let me leave you with this last photo.



This is statue of Elizabeth Montgomery from the television show Bewitched. Yes, that's right, Bewitched ... in the middle of downtown Salem.

It would be bliss to have a whole bookstore just for poetry here. I don't think there are any in New Zealand.

Odessa, Grolier is an amazing place. Lots of history there. Next time I should take a picture of the inside, because it's such a small store.

Collin, that was the first time I had seen the statue. It's cheesy--fits right into Salem lore.

Catherine, maybe you should make a pilgrimage to Cambridge someday and see the store for yourself!
