Poets of Oak Cliff is a small neighborhood bookshop and writing community. The shop is divided into two sections, literary and discourses. Literary features new releases and award-winning fiction and poetry. The discourses section contains nonfiction new releases with a focus on modern philosophy, intellectual discourse, history, and essay collections. They will have typed poems from local writer Marco Cavazos available in the shop. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Cavazos opened Poets of Oak Cliff with business partners Kelsi Cavazos and Russell Hargraves. They also own the adjacent Cigar Art<\/span> together. They originally envisioned a writers\u2019 space, but that evolved into a bookstore with a focus on poetry.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\u201cOur vision is to be a community bookshop,\u201d Hargraves told the Oak Cliff Advocate<\/em>. \u201cWe\u2019re not looking for a huge footprint or a giant online presence. We\u2019re just looking to amplify Oak Cliff\u2019s literary culture, while doing something we love.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Poets of Oak Cliff is located at <\/span>506 N. Bishop Ave, across the street from Lockhart Barbecue. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
