Large variety of events and classes, some with scholarships available. This cozy bookstore has lots of poetry and prose by local and diverse authors. They can also publish your work!

A lovely little shop! Please support this place. They are so nice and friendly, and they have some really fun books there!

This place is absolutely magical and supper important. We need to invest and support our local book stores! I come in with the request to order a septic book all the tome and they always accommodate my request and communicate beautifully.

Fabuloso offering of poetry plus tons of other small press books.

This is a delightful store. They not only carry a diverse selection from authors that dont live here but their catalogue for local Milwaukee authors is extensive and quite satisfying. The staff is always professional and friendly. Its well kept and clean . Their events are superb and again indicative of their thumb on the pulse of the Milwaukee literary sceneIts also a great, worthwhile cause that warrants support, so important is their work in the Riverwest community.Thanks!

Great meeting space, cold in meeting room. Great staff very inviting and knowledgeable.

Very cool place to find new things to read. I saw a number of players and poetry anthologies I was interested in, but ultimately could not resist a pair of chapbooks by a local beloved poet. Im embarrassed I havent visited this oasis sooner, but very glad I made time today.

This unassuming gem of a shop has perhaps the greatest poetry selection in the state.

Awesomesauce! I went to see Tyanna Buies art works in the gallery...the books were a bonus.

Great non-profit in Riverwest!

A Milwaukee treasure. A day could be spent exploring the shelves. Great staff. Events are elegant yet simple.

While other reviews will rightfully discuss the poetry and local author selections, their American Indian section is also unbelievable. Some great out of print books that I couldnt find elsewhere. Tough not to spend hours and money here (both well spent).

Love their community focus. Friendly staff and lots of unique books.

Independent bookstore and local business. Extensive selection of zines, specialises in poetry. As noted both others the native american selection is thorough. Much to browse through, so plan to visit for a good while. The mural on the outside wall is also unique and adds much to the street scene.

Wonderful collection. Well worth a visit.

I didnt know places like this still existed

This lil book store is cute.

Great
