✨
The Shivastan Poetry Ashram is a community based independent book shop, art gallery, giftshop & grassroots co-operative promoting poetry, friendship, wisdom & compassion for all beings located in central Woodstock NY. We are usually OPEN 1 to 6 pm everyday at 6 Sgt Richard Quinn Drive Woodstock NY - the bright orange cabin behind The Mothership ⭐️ please stop by any afternoon & browse the thousands of new, used & rare books; art & oddities; unusual jewelry, crafts & gifts from India & Nepal.
The Woodstock Shivastan Poetry Ashram was started by poet & publisher Shiv Mirabito - it is loosely based on Ed Sanders’ LES community Peace Eye Bookshop, Allen Ginsberg’s Cherry Valley Committee on Poetry, & Angus Maclise & Ira Cohen’s Spirit Catcher Bookshop on Freak Street in Kathmandu. It is the home base of the small press Shivastan Press {Woodstock~Kathmandu} which has published limited edition poetry chapbooks & broadsides on handmade paper in Nepal since 1997 by some of the most exciting poets in America. It is our 29th anniversary this year!
