| Emily Long (l.) and Dylah Ray at Petals & Pages | |
Petals & Pages, a queer woman-owned bookstore and flower shop, has opened in Denver, Colo.
Located inside of outdoor supply store Birdsall & Co., Petals & Pages carries new books with an emphasis on queer, BIPOC and nonbinary writers. The shop is owned by Dylah Ray, who is also the owner of Botanical Bakery in Denver, and is managed by poet and author Emily Long.
Their event plans include open-mic nights, author talks, book signings and workshops. They've already launched a monthly book club as well as the Poetry & Petals project, which highlights a local poet with every bouquet purchased.
The store held a grand opening celebration last week that, according to the Denver Business Journal, saw close to 300 attendees.
