BOOKSHOP LOVE ~









Fjaerland book town, Norway



Fjaerland is one of Norway’s Book Towns near Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier in mainland Europe. Old sheds, houses and even a hotel have been converted into bookshops. “During the winter, the bookshop owners have to transport the books from place to place, over the snow, on kick-sleds.”

DENISE LEVERTOV ~








DENISE LEVERTOV
A Poet's Life
by Dana Greene
University of Illinois Press, 2012










The tone, pacing and fulfillment of this biographer's portrait and study of an American poet is exquisite and accomplished. Even the design of the book and dust jacket photograph of Denise Levertov draws wonder. Don't hesitate.
