The Dime-Store Philosophy of Kahlil Gibran
How The Prophet Made Kahlil Gibran a Household Name in
America ‹ Literary Hub (lithub.com)
The dime-store philosophy of Kahlil Gibran
(“Daddy, what’s a dime-store? And what’s a dime?”)
Reposing mostly undisturbed on brick-and-board shelves
The free-verse love-salad of Rod McKuen
And Lord of the Rings in 50-cent paperbacks
The Seekers played over and over on the phonograph
(“Daddy, what’s a phonograph? Is it something bad?”)
Have you heard The Mamas and the Papas’ latest single?
Peter, Paul & Mary in “stacks of wax”
Three-chord commandos in every coffee shop
Looking back - it wasn’t the greatest stuff
But for the time and place, it was good enough
