THE WORLD
AT LARGE


To start bookshop where nothing
but poetry, and all poetry. shall be on
sale is at any rate spirited. for IL is an
axiom that poetry does not pay. This
is, however, the first enterprise of the
new year. and it has been undertaken
by Harold Munro. the editor or Poetry
and Drama. He has taken an old
house on the far side of Holborn and
turned the bottom OF it into a shop
where people may buy poetry IL they
like. or If not. talk about II in tolerabie
comfort For the upper floors he has
a still boider design they have teen
fitted up in a fashion consonant with
high thinking and d shallow purse. for
lodging such poets as may care 10 live
in community and perhaps 10 lend u
hand in the work OF Poetry House. -
