Jan Hansen Poet Blank verse

Shakespear and Co

Shakespeare& C0 

6-7 years ago, I was in Paris for a wedding and reading poetry,
the reading was met with protests by the public who protested again
my anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian poems.
The day after walking about I was trying to find the Paris of Dos Passos
and Ernest Hemingway, found a city overpriced looking like any others.
I happened to walk past a bookshop “Shakespeare & co” I walked in 
met by a million of books.
I had two slim volumes of my own effort, and naively asked if I could place
them here? The answer was yes, I filled out a form with my address, 
and that was it. It was only later I realized my tiny books were the company with
 the greatest poets and writer in the western world.
I never contacted the bookshop again, but often wonder if anyone has browsed 
through my work and liked what I had written.
