Over almost 50 years now I have written and published poetry, run a small press poetry publishing house (Blackberry Books) and for 37 years have co-owned Gulf of Maine Bookstore in Brunswick, Maine. I have collected a large library of poetry and poetry related titles over time, and now I would like to move them along to interested readers. Over the next year I will gradually list these available titles here. There will be more poetry, plus sections of anthologies, Native American writers, Chinese and Japanese poetry, psychedelics, and a mix-up of prose listings. If you are interested in purchasing any of them, please email me at chimfarm@gwi.net, or call the bookstore - Gulf of Maine Books at 207-729-5083. As I said, I will be adding titles over time, so please do return if you are interested, or you can contact me about specific poets or books.
Thanks!
Gary Lawless
