This monthly book club led by Doug Knowlton is for those who like to read and discuss poetry. It celebrates the integral role of poets and poetry in life and literature. July's selection is THE CROSSROAD: POEMS by Pat Williams Owen, a poet celebrated in our Sarasota literary community.  We meet in person in the loft of our store in The Mark building at 117 South Pineapple Avenue. The cost is your purchase of the book ($18.95), which can be picked up at Bookstore1 any time before our meeting. ABOUT THE BOOK: The poems in The Crossroad explore memory, loss, the nature of our irredeemably human existence. Like Our Town, thse poems see the timeless in the everyday. They remind us to pay attention to the details of our fleeting lives. The Crossroad is one woman's journey, every woman's journey.  ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Pat Williams Owen is the author of four poetry books, including The Crossroad (Shadelandhouse Modern Press, 2025), Bardo of Becoming (Accents Publishing, 2022), Orion’s Belt at the End of the Drive (Accents Publishing, 2019), and Crossing the Sky Bridge (Larkspur Press, 2016). Her work has appeared in Gulf Stream Magazine, Highland Park Poetry, The Hong Kong Review, The Louisville Review, Raven’s Perch, other print and online literary journals, and several anthologies. She was a finalist in the Atlanta Review International Poetry Competition and an award winner in the Chautauqua Writers’ Center 2020 Literary Arts Contest.
