While living in Cambridge I was charmed by this small storefront right off of Harvard square. It is a magical store where all forms and centuries of poetry mingle together just waiting to be flipped through and discussed. The woman who runs the store is, of course, very knowledgeable about poetry and will tell you if she doesn't know the answer to something-and then she will try to find the answer. The bookstore also runs events on poetry, often in conjunction with Harvard University. You can visit their website if you are not in the Boston area. This store is namesake for the Grolier Poetry Prize.
