Poets Oak Cliff recently opened at 506 N. Bishop Ave. in the Bishop Arts District of Dallas, Tex., and plans to host a grand opening February 1, the Oak Cliff Advocate reported. The store is owned by writer Marco Cavazos with business partners Kelsi Cavazos and Russell Hargraves. They also own the adjacent Cigar Art together.
Originally envisioned as a writers space, the project evolved into a bookstore with a focus on poetry. "Our vision is to be a community bookshop," Hargraves said. "We're not looking for a huge footprint or a giant online presence. We're just looking to amplify Oak Cliff's literary culture, while doing something we love."
