Line Reading Poetry Bookclub

The family-run brick-and-mortar brought to you by local indie press Two Dollar Radio!

Nathan McDowell

In this bookclub, we'll look for poetry from as many cultures and perspectives as possible that honor the sense of vitality and singularity of voice unique to poetry.

Hosted by Nathan McDowell (Operations Manager) a writer from the Quad Cities and manager of Two Dollar Radio HQ.

Inheritance, by Taylor Johnson

Inheritance is a black sensorium, a chapel of color and sound that speaks to spaciousness, surveillance, identity, desire, and transcendence.

Influenced by everyday moments of Washington, DC living, the poems live outside of the outside and beyond the language of categorical difference, inviting anyone listening to listen a bit closer. Inheritance is about the self’s struggle with definition and assumption.

Two Dollar Radio acknowledges that this land where we live and work, commonly known as "Columbus, Ohio," is the contemporary territory of the Shawnee, Miami, Hopewell, and other Indigenous Nations.

Two Dollar Radio Headquarters (HQ)—a locally owned and operated family-run shop opened in 2017—is an indie bookstore, performance space, and fully vegan bar, coffeehouse, and cafe located on the South Side of Columbus, Ohio. As a bookshop, we carry an exciting, carefully curated list of titles almost exclusively devoted to independently published literature. Our bar serves cocktails, wine, and draft beer, and our cafe serves locally roasted coffee, house-made vegan meats and cheezes, sandwiches, salads, pizzas, dips, and more. Our performance space features a wide range of offerings from panel discussions, local and touring author readings, musicians, magicians, trivia, themed storytelling, poetry open mics, and more. Our space is family friendly and wheelchair accessible, with plenty of comfy tables for group seating. Read more about us here.
