J.D. Salinger and Poets


"We should buy 'Catcher in the Rye'. Do you have any J.D. Salinger?"
As it so happened, I had one copy of "Catcher in the Rye" plus a copy of "Franny and Zooey" so they bought both to honor the famed novelist on the day his death was announced.
Further chatting revealed my guests were visiting Salina from Emporia, where she is a master's degree candidate in literature and a published poet. We discussed the idea of having poetry readings in Chapter 2 and they thought it was an intimate space for poetry readings.
So watch for more news on the opening of poetry nights at Chapter 2. And don't be surprised if Ariel Robello is one of the first poets to read for us.
