Did you know that Crate & Barrel used to have a “Poet Chair?” Yes. You could buy a chair for poetry (writing or reading it, I wonder?) at a reasonably upscale (in a Restoration Hardware kind of way) chain store.

My guess is for reading, because there is no way you could pull this thing up to a desk and write comfortably. And I’m not sure why poetry would be this particular shade of persimmon.

The sad part of all this is… the chair is no longer available.

If Crate & Barrel has no room for poet’s anymore, what hope have we to loved and appreciated? Oh well, I suppose I shall just have to buy my bohemian cred elsewhere. Maybe at Pier One Imports?

At least I still have cool desk for writing poetry.
