What happened with poetry?

[busker]

first it was the blues section in the music shop shrinking then the poetry section in the bookshop shrinking... help

Another independent bookshop has closed in this city.
There's a really good one that I frequent, but even I - a great fan of bookshops - find it difficult to pay $40 more for a book that I can get on Amazon. I'm happy to pay $20 as a premium. But $40 for instant gratifications feels a bit rich. And that's the problem. Bookshops need you to pay more.

The alternative is for them to make money selling coffee and gifts, which a lot of them do.

Perhaps the future is really in virtual bookshops, using VR headsets.

Hail, Zuckerberg. Hail, Musk.

The dawn of the planet of the techbros is here.
