Bookman's Alley Closing In September after 33 Years
A year ago, before Bookman’s Alley was announced to be closed,
I met Sir Roger Carlson. He was calm, gentle and deep. When I said hello, he
looked into my eyes and said “How are you?”. I asked him: May I make a documentary film on you and your beautiful museum? He softly said : Sure! How significant it was to see his meaningful
smile and hear those precious words. I was stunned with the valuable historical
collections of books, magazines, clothes, objects, documents, art works, etc…I was swamped with work the next day...I couldn't find a camera....I never forgot him. But the memory of those precious moments stayed in my mind forever.
"Owner Roger Carlson is selling the last 15,000 volumes at
his beloved used bookstore in downtown Evanston, which is closing at the end of
September."

Digging by Seamus Heaney
Between my finger and my thumb
The squat pen rests; snug as a gun.
Under my window, a clean rasping sound
When the spade sinks into gravelly ground:
My father, digging. I look down

Making sense of a life, a conversation with Nobel Laureate and poet
