The Mad Poets Blog

I received word via Bob Small of Poets and Prophets that Angie will be closing the Voices and Visions Bookstore in early June.  Philadelphia will be losing a fine independent book store and the arts community a beautiful venue.  Bob said it best in his email : “…Anyway, try and get there and buy some books before they close and thank Angie for fighting the good fight.”

I have had the pleasure to read some of my work at Voices and Visions. To say the least this closing is a major loss to the literary community in Philadelphia. We like to write about corporate control of publishing and the arts yet we continue to see these fine stores close due to a lack of support. Dust off your wallets and stop by V&V at 4th and Market in the Bourse Building, buy a few books and thank Angie.
