Poetry isn’t dead in DUMBO
Brooklyn BookBeat
Poetry has taken on new life at DUMBO’s Berl’s Brooklyn Poetry Shop, the only all-poetry bookstore in New York City.
Aiden Farrell, a volunteer who has been working at the store since February, said that the shop is a place where voices that normally wouldn’t be heard have a home.
“There’s such a wide range of things,” Farrell told Brooklyn Book Beat. “You’ll find less canon here than you’ll find contemporary experimental stuff.”
