Holiday poetry shopping at Small Press Distribution

Monday November 8, 2004
from Kathleen Miller at Small Press Distribution:
“Small Press Distribution (SPD), the country’s only nonprofit literary book distributor, opens its warehouse for its annual holiday Open House on Saturday, December 4, 12-4 pm, at 1341 7th Street (off Gilman Street) in Berkeley. The free event will highlight the conjunction of gardening, writing, and writing about gardening. The guest of honor will be Cole Swensen, whose most recent book of poetry, Goest, is a finalist for the National Book Award. The Open House also offers open-stack browsing on our 13,000+ titles, a 10-50% discount on all books, and ample free food and drink.”

Founded in 1969, SPD now distributes more than 500 small presses to libraries, bookstores, colleges, online stores, other distributors, and individuals. Your guides long ago recognized SPD’s online catalog as a Best of the Net site, and this Open House is a chance to browse through the real-life treasure trove of small press poetry.
