The Grolier Poetry Book Shop in Cambridge, MA, proudly holds the title as the oldest continuously operating book shop that exclusively focuses on poetry books. Established in 1927, this unique bookstore has a rich history of celebrating and promoting the art of poetry.
In 2006, Ifeanyi A. Menkiti, a renowned philosopher and educator, saved the Grolier Poetry Book Shop from closure by acquiring it. His legacy lives on through the shop, with his family continuing to uphold the mission and vision of this literary haven.
Located at 6 Plympton Street, the Grolier Poetry Book Shop welcomes visitors to explore its curated selection of poetry books, providing a space where poetry enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the beauty of verse. The Ifeanyi A. Menkiti Legacy Fund ensures the sustainability of this cultural gem for future generations to enjoy.
