We're excited to announce that we are beginning our first bookstore-sponsored book club this fall. It's called "Based On" and it's the brain child of Fishtown Films duo Emily and Austin. The basic conceit is that we will read books and screen the movies based on them on a projector at the store. (I know; pretty great, right?)

For our first meeting, we will be reading John Keats' love poetry and discussing the movie Bright Star. Here is the version of the poetry we will be reading for you to purchase. Specifically, we will be talking about the below poem selections:

• 'Bright star! would I were steadfast as thou art'

• The Eve of St Agnes

• A Dream, after reading Dante's Episode of Paola and Francesca

• La Belle Dame sans Merci, A Ballad

• Ode to Psyche

• Ode to Melancholy

• Ode to Indolence

• Lamia

• 'The day is gone, and all its sweets are gone!'

• What can I do to drive away

• "I cry your mercy, pit, love -- ay, love!

• To Fanny

• 'This living hand, now warm and capable'
