  •  Calyx Book Reading!  We are pleased to host an event with author Penelope Scambly Schott reading from her book Crow Mercies, published by Calyx Books.  This event will be on the evening of Thursday, October 21st at 7pm here at the book shop.

  • “Penelope Scambly Schott's Crow Mercies celebrates the naming of small things in order to know basic truths.  An accumulative momentum rises out of the mercy of an attentive eye: not for gazing at the surface of things but looking into the heart of what matters, what keeps us fully engaged as humans.  There are no shortcuts in Crow Mercies.” Yusef Komunyakaa, author of Warhorses: Poems and winner of the 1994 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry
