Berl's Brooklyn Poetry Shop

History

We began as a booth selling chapbooks from a variety of presses at the Brooklyn Flea as well as a variety of poetry events around New York, such as the NY Poetry Festival, the Sarah Lawrence Poetry Festival, the Popsickle Poetry Fest, and others. In September 2013, we moved into a storefront space at 126a Front Street in DUMBO.

Specialties

We are a bookstore focusing on poetry books and chapbooks, particularly handmade and micro-press publications. We host poetry readings and other events as well as a rotating gallery space for poetry-related art exhibitions.
