Mon, 02 Jun 2014 00:21:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://thethepoetry.com/2011/08/indie-bookstores-cambridge-and-boston/comment-page-1/#comment-1253 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 21:50:00 +0000 https://thethepoetry.com/?p=4641#comment-1253 This is a nice profile of two stores which “loom large” to use your phrase, in the local literary landscape. Some smaller gems — Grolier Poetry Book Shop, immediately next door to Harvard Book Store;  Seven Stars, an esoteric shop right across the street from Rodney’s; Porter Square Books, one stop on the Red Line from Harvard; Trident Bookstore & Café on Newbury Street, further south on Mass Ave, across the Charles; the most excellent Brattle Bookshop, selling excellent antiquarian and used titles; Boston Book Annex, down Beacon Street past Kenmore Square; the groovy Diskovery used book hodgepodge up in Brighton, just a bus ride past the student ghetto district of Allston; and Calamus Books, featuring GLBTQ titles, down near Chinatown. These and more than a dozen more than I know of at least, will be among those listed in an extensive guide to Boston’s literary culture, to be published at http://bu.edu/clarion in coordination with their forthcoming Summer 2011 issue. I’ll make sure a link to this article of yours figures in there somewhere…
