What’s the cure for a broken heart? What about for sadness, anxiety or loneliness? For those visiting the Poetry Pharmacy (药店) — customers or patients, depending on how you see them — these are the questions on their minds. This bookshop on Oxford Street offers special medicine to those sorts of emotional wounds. Calm, comfort, inspiration: whatever you’ re searching for, there’s a book of poetry to help you find it.

From philosophical poems to romantic ones, poetry has long had the power to speak to the deepest parts of our soul. When other literary forms fail, it’s often poetry that has the answer, says Poetry Pharmacy founder Deb Alma. “At weddings and funerals (葬礼), it’s a poem that’s read,” she points out. “It’s the art that people in states of

intense emotion turn to.”

With its expansive library of brightly coloured books, the pharmacy is every poetry fan’s dream. Alma knows that poetry alone won’t cure anyone of life’s greatest pain. Instead, this store serves as a representation of the idea that words cure all. The centrepiece is a rich red-brown cupboard containing small glass bottles labeled with various emotions: “love”, “boost” and “pride”. Some are more playful. There are pills for “hesitation” and “existential anxiety”, while a glass bottle at op reads: “Calm: Keep out of reach of children.”

It’s artistically pleasing jokes like these that have made this store a huge hit on social media. In the two months since its opening, the place has been consistently lively, with customers dropping in to buy gifts, sitting with a coffee from the pharmacy to read and reflect, and many documenting the experience for social media.

When asked why so many young people are interested in poetry again, Alma said, “In the absence of faith, we are all searching for meaning, for a deeper bond with each other.” The Poetry Pharmacy offers that. People sit down for a coffee and end up reading the poems attached to the tables, covering the walls, aloud. For those lacking closeness in their lives, the poems, like the pharmacy, provide “even in a small way, a little community”.

4. What do we know about customers entering the Poetry Pharmacy?

A. They suffer from emotional pain. B. They are fond of reading books.

C. They are good at creating poems. D. They search for clinical treatment.

5. Why does Deb Alma mention weddings and funerals in paragraph 2?

A. To argue the importance of art. B. To stress the significance of poetry.

C. To illustrate the necessity of literature. D. To promote the reputation of the shop.

6. What makes Poetry Pharmacy popular on social media?

A. Well-arranged cupboards. B. Carefully-selected books.

C. A balance between life and leisure. D. A combination of wisdom and humor.

7. What does Alma think of young people’s enthusiasm in poetry?

A. It causes their lack of spiritual faith.

B It shows their urge to follow the crowd.

C. It builds meaningful connections among them.

D. It reflects their taste of literary appreciation.
