The Bookshop not only sold, but also published, [[poetry]] by living poets. Readers were encouraged to browse, and several poets actually made their home there, including [[Wilfred Wilson Gibson]] and [[Robert Frost]]. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the shop's best-sellers were hand-coloured rhyme sheets for children. During [[World War I]], when Monro was serving in the armed forces, the shop was run almost single-handed by his assistant, Alida Klementaski, whom he later married. Among the works published by the Poetry Bookshop were collections by [[Charlotte Mew]] and [[Richard Aldington]] as well as [[Ezra Pound]]'s seminal [[1914 in poetry|1914]] anthology ''Des Imagistes''.
