Cool Idea of the Day: Daily Poetry Videos (quoted from Shelf Awareness, 4/7/2010)

“To celebrate National Poetry Month, DIESEL, whose stores are in Oakland, Malibu and Brentwood, Calif., has made 30 videos of booksellers from the three stores reading poems. During April, the videos are being released daily, one per day, on the store’s blog and on the National Poetry Month page of its website. The videos in color have been released; the ones in black and white have yet to appear.”

Enjoy!
