a poet who taught college night  school ventured out   during the day to find rare books of poetry to assign his class to read out loud; a small bookshop destined to fail opened up on the sunny north eastern corner; selling no books at all, the enterprising intellectual proprietor resigned to the inevitable but was surprised when the poet [seldom seen during the day & she had never seen him before] burst through the door & demanded she order all the books on a handwritten list, shoving it in her face; so overwhelmed she stayed late at the bookstore on the telephone & computer ordering the rare & obscure books; that night the class full of wanna-be poets groaned in despair at the poet telling them to read every book on the list & the wherewithal to find them
