New Poet and/the Bench Shop Oozes Creative Energy
Fledgling Locust Ave. lifestyle store and jewelry atelier hosts an opening reception and party on January 30 (1–5pm).

A step into the new Poet and/the Bench space on Locust Ave. reveals far more than the newest jewelry shop in town – it’s a walk through the life that its owners have created together, a celebration of craftsmanship, creativity and a love for the arts.
Jeffrey Levin and Bonnie Powers opened Poet and/the Bench at 10E Locust Ave. in late 2015, building on Levin’s 30 years as a jewelry maker and goldsmith, a career spent in nearly every aspect of the jewelry business, from model making to distribution and retail.
