FORUM

Welcome home!

At The Poetry Cove Forum, we are dedicated to bringing together poets from all over the world. We believe that poetry can be a powerful tool for connection and community, and we want you to have a place where you can explore your craft in an environment that is friendly, welcoming, and supportive.

We are committed to providing this space for you because we believe that everyone deserves a chance to express themselves creatively and share their work with others who share their interests.

We hope you will join us in creating an open-minded, accepting, and supportive community of people who can help each other grow as poets.

The New Acquisitions Thread!

in Poetry Discussion

For those of us who are bookaholics and can’t help but collect more books than we can store! Share your ‘newly acquired’ books with the rest of us… who knows, you may even help someone find their new favourite collection!

On further thought, doesn’t necessarily need to be a book, if you got a new bit of poetry merch, or memorabilia etc!

Per request of @Adam Gary and @Shen Friebe

Here is a little video I whipped together of all my collector's edition books and leatherbacks.

@Adam Gary It's morally questionable too! The animals, fair enough but I don't think I could get behind the fetal skeletons :\

EDIT: If the animals weren't killed for preservation that is

@Shen Friebe Oh my goodness this reminds me of so many different things that I've encountered either on television or in passing during my (limited) travels. There used to be a show in the US on the SyFy channel called Oddities.

There was even one episode where someone actually had a fetus inside of a glass jar and was selling it to someone.

Another place I've been that you reminded me of is out of Salem, Massachusetts. There is a witch's store during Halloween time that sold real-life candied bugs in the form of a lollipop. Some of the bugs included crickets, spiders, and bees. It was really a strange experience when one of the store assistants offered me to buy one.

@Shen Friebe I’ve not come across this yet, no! Might have to add it to the haul! I’ve not read much Dickinson so I’m excited to jump in!

@Adam Gary Keep us posted if you find it and get around to having a read! Maybe you could leave a very brief review for us if you do?

I almost didn't realize that this title was a literal translation and mistook it for the Epic of Gilgamesh; which is also a great epic to read by the way.
