Halleleujah, I am happy to hear about the advent of Greencup Books. Scheduled to open on Feb. 15, Greencup is the brainchild of once-and-future Weekly contributing writer Russell Helms: a community space located downtown whose explicit mission is “to propogate CREATIVITY.”
Besides selling new and used (!!) books, Greencup will offer eight-week writing and art classes year-round and provide a venue for art openings, yoga classes, community meetings, readings and other literary events.
Located at 105 Richard Arrington Blvd. South (right next door to Bare Hands Gallery) Greencup will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Events already on the bookstore’s calendar include a Feb. 8 reading and release party for Stories from Real Life, a collection of short fiction by Tony Crunk paired with art by Peter Wilm. Feb. 13 marks the start of two eight-week courses being taught at Greencup: “Writing the Memoir” with Tony Crunk and “Publish Your Book” with Russell Helms.
