THE RED WHEELBARROW BOOKSTORE


Earlier today I wrote about my visit to this wonderful Paris bookstore but forgot to mention the derivation of the somewhat unusual name.


When we asked about it Abigail pointed to the poem on the wall by William Carlos Williams:

The Red Wheelbarrow

so much depends

upon

a red wheel

barrow

glazed with rain

water

beside the white

chickens
