Open Books: A Poem Emporium - SilverKris

"Located in Pioneer Square, this poetry-only shop is a true haven for verse, housing over 10,000 volumes and functioning as a community hub for regular readings and author events. It also offers a parlour studio available to rent for readings, writing sessions, or quiet pondering, and its curated selection—drawn from both large and small publishers—serves as an excellent introduction to classic and modern American poetry." - SilverKris

Alandra is a really special addition to any event. I've had poems written by lots of folks at museums and other events but, Alandra is different. Somehow, he is able to get to know each of the guests and his poems touch the soul in a surprising way. He's incredibly gracious and charming as well. I would highly recommend him for your next event.

So special. Alandra takes time to listen to your story and asks questions to gain more information while you can clearly see their gears turning to spin your story into beautiful poetry. I asked for a poem during my last week living in Seattle and I could not have been more pleased nor moved by their words. I have since hung the 1 of 1 typewritten piece (arguably the most special and timeless part about it) on the wall of my new home. Thank you, Alandra, for such a unique and meaningful memento.

Alandra writes beautifully. Worth it to get a poem from them if you are in the area!
