Ariana Reines X The Second Shelf X How to Wear It X The Sand Book

We are ecstatic to welcome poet Ariana Reines to The Second Shelf to celebrate the publication of The Sand Book, as well as the publication of The Second Shelf's first poetry broadside, "How to Wear It" printed by Hurst Street Press. 

The poem was first commissioned and published in our first magazine and was inspired by Sylvia Plath's tartan skirt, which is for sale and will be on display.

We then had it printed as a broadside by Hurst Street Press and it will be signed by Reines for the first time, shipped to customers who have pre-ordered (or who would like to pick up in the shop.)

Reines will be in conversation with writer and The Second Shelf proprietor A. N. Devers. We are wildly excited and consider this a wrap party for the first magazine, a celebration of our bookshop, of one of our favourite poets and her new book A Sand Book (released in the US by Tin House 18/06/19, forthcoming in the UK). 

We will also have a number of first editions of Reines's work for sale.
