Poetry in the garage for the month of June. 11-8 Tuesday through Sunday or when the sign is out :) Visit, read, sit, contemplate, write down your thoughts if inspired by the poems on display. These have been generously given to us as original compositions for this exhibit. Reflections on trial and resilience, of and for this moment in time. It is with enormous gratitude that I thank Conor McDonnell for his talent and his help in putting this together.

How wonderful is it that books on anti-racism are bestsellers? In fact, so much so that they’re sold out everywhere. We’re sold out too. Those books most likely will not be in stores again until end of June. I’d like to use this opportunity to encourage all the truth and change seekers to look at their bookshelves. Do you have authors of colour in there? And if not, now is a wonderful opportunity to read their writings. Fiction has always held truth, beauty, and pain. There are a number of wonderful black owned bookstores in Toronto and they would be excellent curators for your journey. #bethechange @knowledgebookstore @adfrntbooklist https://www.instagram.com/p/CBBgujSAgrz/?igshid=jt9nrvuukef8

How much do I miss my customers? So much. That’s why it’s so nice to be able to say hi when bringing someone a book and see a smile like that. @anisehsharifi #indiebookstore #staysafe #delivery #bookstagram #book #bookstorelife #smile https://www.instagram.com/p/B-sWcMBgnm7/?igshid=10o0tgykwups

Slim and I are preparing for the long haul 🙂. And that means we’re here for you too. So if you want to call, email, or message with book requests, we can work out payment and pick up for whatever we have in stock. I haven’t yet been able to find out if we can do special orders for new books but I think it’s unlikely at this time. I’ll post pictures of books regularly and you can contact me if you’d like them. All the best everybody ❤️ #book #bookorder #slim https://www.instagram.com/p/B99kGfPgXVF/?igshid=19kbljrdwlo1z
