Really attractive and comfortable independent poetry store. The owner is very friendly and helpful, and more than happy to suggest works of interest. They can also special-order any book not in stock.

Inspiring, cozy space with amazing titles. This right address is 108 Cherry St, Seattle, WA 98104 in Pioneer Square, not Wallingford.

This magical, one-of-a-kind bookstore has moved to 108 Cherry Street (in Pioneer Square) and it is even more beautiful than before!! Incredible selection of poetry books—new, used, and rare—in the historic Good Arts building. Unique, must-visit shop for travelers coming through Seattle and a beloved hub for poets and poetry lovers worldwide! ???

The new location is 108 Cherry Street in Pioneer Square. It’s a beautiful old building walking distance from the ferry terminal and Pike Place Market.

I was barred from entry (this was several months ago), something about a pandemic or other. But the owner served me fastfood style, taking my order at the door and my money at the counter. When I first discovered this shop online, I thought 'how does that work in a rent rocket city like Seattle?' Now I know: because it's awesome.

A wonderful, peaceful bookstore with an amazing selection. Exclusively deals in poetry, and I love them for it. Their inventory is varied and I always come away with at least three books. Their staff are all wonderful as well, and it's worth asking for recommendations!

Very good place to sell off your books. They give a decent amount of money ( you'll get more if you get a store credit )

There are not too many books about classic poems, like Alexandre Pope, Samuel Coleridge, Robert Burns, etc. most of books are about modern poems or poetry. America Library series, like Longfellow, Whitman, are obviously overpriced: $40 each! You can easily buy new ones with half price in Amazon, or if you are willing to walk a mile to UW, you may find cheaper ones in other used book shop.
