Annotation: When Wilson bought and transformed a little bookshop in New York's Greenwich Village, it became a mecca for literary personalities who included Marianne Moore, Michael McClure, and Allen Ginsberg. This memoir brings back the heyday of the Phoenix, when famous writers mingled among the shelves of their own books.
