Berl's Brooklyn Poetry Shop

A wonderful, welcoming bookshop dedicated exclusively to poetry. This place is full of treasures and stocks a wealth of small and independent press publications you're not likely to find in other bookshops. Berl's is extremely well-run and hosts excellent events. It's an oasis. Go there and buy their books!

Berl's is like a poetry dream come true. An amazingly curated collection of books, chapbooks and limited edition works from small presses from all over the U.S. This is a must visit destination for any NYC-based lover of poetry and literary-minded tourists from elsewhere. And before your visit make sure to check their schedule for their store hours and upcoming events.

I needed to find the perfect birthday present for my best friend who's living in NYC & loves poetry. Berl's made it amazingly seamless for me to find and purchase an e-gift card for her and they will send it to her on her birthday. Thanks so much, Berl's!!!

Amazing selection of poetry books in a comfortable space. I was very impressed with the finds I made there and can't wait to buy more!

It's a bookstore filled with books on poetry, just poetry. It's a miracle a place like this can even exist in today's retail environment. Take the F from NYC to get there.

It's a hidden gem! Diverse and unique collections of poetry. Do not miss this place!

love this store. they have everything. great and helpful staff. highly recommend.

Cute little poetry bookshop. Very friendly and comfortable environment.

I came here for a photo and book release party. I love the spare space and deep attention to beautiful books. The layout is simple, making sure not to distract from the important topic of the store. Shop keeper was really nice, as well.

No other space in the city caters to this crowd, or has a comparable selection. The owners are awesome, the events are great. If you are a reader of poetry, this is your joint. I can't visit without buying something amazing.
