Bookstore Celebrates 40 Years with Poetry Collection - nice idea

Shelf Awareness 

As part of its 40th anniversary celebration, Coalesce Bookstore, Morro Bay, Calif., is publishing Where Our Palms Rest, a poetry collection featuring the work of four local writers, the Tribune reported.

"I've always loved poetry and read poetry myself but I know what a tough sell it is. It does not fly off the shelves unless you're Mary Oliver or Billy Collins," said Linna Thomas, who co-founded the bookshop with Janet Brown in 1973.
