This brick-and-mortar bookstore permanently shut its doors around 2004 or '05.
Cowley & Cathedral
This cosy, carpeted Episcopal bookstore
on Temple Place in Downtown Crossing, Boston
was one of my safe places in the late 1990s
when I was a brittle rightwing Catholic outlier
whose heart of hearts craved tenderness and peace.
Priscilla, Todd, and Helen behind the counter.
CDs of chant from the monkhouse at 980 Memorial,
icons and books and all kinds of churchy journals ---
a sweet and reasonable place when I was not those things!
