I met Karen Schoemer at a recent St. Rocco’s Reading Series event, where we talked poetry, bookshops, and how we’ve crossed paths in the literary and bookshop worlds twice without my remembering. But I do remember that Karen read some great poems that day and has a fascinating background as a music writer and performer (details on that below), and so I asked her about her favorite bookshop for my interview series. She came up with a good one! I need to check this place out!
