Book condition : very good. - Book about Harold Edward Monro (1879-1932), an English poet born in Brussels and proprietor of the Poetry Bookshop in London, which helped many poets bring their work before the public. In his later years, Monro reflected on whether the Poetry Bookshop had fulfilled its purpose and whether it should be closed, but he was too deeply attached to it. According to the English literary historian Dominic Hibberd, By now Monro was a disappointed man, appalled at the state of Europe and feeling forgotten by the poets he had helped. He had used up most of his money in subsidizing the shop. On top of a drinking problem, Monro contracted tuberculosis and died on 16 March 1932. Wikipedia.nl
