Waterstones Petition Call
April 28, 2010 9:20 am Book ReviewsI am calling for a petition. To stop the Poetry and Classics section from getting any smaller, and to bring it back to the front of the shop – where the DVDs are. DVDs?! In a bookshop?! Really.
I used to love browsing the poetry section in Waterstones, and eventually choosing a title that I hadn’t heard of, from a poet who I didn’t know existed, to be either delightfully impressed, or expensively disappointed. But it didn’t matter. It was nice to read something new and fresh.
Now, though, I have to ask a member of staff where to find the poetry, because it is usually one tiny column, split between Poetry, Classics and Drama (including Shakespeare, no less) and it’s hidden away around the corner in the back of the third floor somewhere.
When I eventually get there, there is nothing new to be found. Although the poets there are fantastic, famous, and very certainly worth reading, I find no pleasure in looking through the section. I want to find something new, something I haven’t read before, something unexpected.
Is that just me?
