 Independent Bookstore Day April 29 Independent Bookstore Day is a one-day celebration that takes place at indie bookstores across the country. We’ll have birthday cake (it’s been eight years since we combined Beagle Books & Bindery and Sister Wolf Books!), exclusive merchandise produced just for the day, great prizes, AND the new Indie Bookstore map! We’ll be giving away journals created in our bindery from recycled materials. Receive a free book with each purchase and, thanks to Harper Collins publishers, a great tote. As part of Independent Bookstore Day, our digital book partner, Libro.fm, has a new member offer! You can get a free audiobook when you start a new membership and use the promo code BOOKSTOREDAY. They are also running an IBD sale from April 24 through April 30 with amazing audiobooks at a special discount.
Allen is also an engaging speaker. Join us at 1:00 to hear him talk and to have an opportunity to have him sign books for you. |

Dancing with the Dead
One of my favorite publishers of poetry is Copper Canyon Press. This month they are releasing this gem. If you think you're not a poetry person, neither did the man who translated these gems. As so often happens, he stumbled into Chinese and Chinese poetry by chance—after checking a box on a form applying for a fellowship for learning a rare language. Once awarded the fellowship, he had to follow through, and one thing led to another. The translator does a short bio of each poet featured in the collection. Included are traditional Chinese illustrations. When reading poetry from so very long ago, I'm often struck by the thought that the feelings and struggles that humans have been experiencing for years haven't changed that much. This collection once again struck that chord in me.
The book releases April 11; pre-order it now and savor for the rest of April and beyond.
April is National Poetry Month!
Here are 30 ways to celebrate.
Some of our favorites are:
- Sign-up for Poem-a-Day, curated this month by award-winning poet Naomi Shihab Nye, and read a poem each morning.
- Record yourself reading a poem, and share why you chose that work online using the hashtag #NationalPoetryMonth. Be sure to tag @poetsorg on Twitter and Instagram!
- Read and share poems about the environment in honor of Earth Day.
