Barndoors and Ignoblemen
So I went into Barnes and Nobles today in search of a book of poems. Macy and Barrows, Rilke's Book of Hours. After much searching I ask for help in regards to the location of poetry. Not on the second floor with literature anymore. Downstairs in the back next to music/rock. And surprise, all contemporary folks strained out of the section. I asked why but no one could give me a heads up. $. I let both sales people know how silly that was. "Poetry is literature." No one cared. No Rilke except Letters. Sad...

Sorry to hear this. Will share with my colleagues at work, Babbitt's Books. We have an excellent poetry collection, probably including what you want, cheap! That is, cheaper than $5, so it wouldn't be listed online if you search our site. But you could email us and say what you want, and we could assemble it and get back to you by phone or email about the shipping, etc.
