Chicago in Verse: A Discussion of Poetry and Our City

Carlos Cumpián leads a discussion of Chicago poetry as he and panelists Angela Jackson, Faisal Mohyuddin, and Johanny Vázquez Paz give a sneak preview of the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame's soon-to-be-released Wherever I'm At: An Anthology of Chicago Poetry. Though the official release date is Monday, June 13, a limited number of books will be on sale before and after the event. This will be one of the culminating events of the American Writers Festival, which has full details about the program on its website. The Chicago Public Library is in partnership with the CLHOF in staging this program; it also has more details on its website.
