Beginning with a couple of hundred books on a shelf in Burlington, Ontario, Poet’s Pulpit has now grown into a retail used bookstore located in Oakville with more than eight thousand titles, an online store with a forum for writers, poets, and booklovers, and a publishing company dedicated to publishing books by independent authors.

Our goal is to broaden the definition of “used bookstore” by showcasing local artists and authors. Whether you are looking for a rare book or the latest best-selling novel our staff will gladly help you find it. “New” books come in daily, so please stop in and say hello.

Poetry, by giving dignity and utterance to our distress, enables us to hope, makes compassion reasonable - Irving Layton
