Printers Row Lit Fest is back after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. This all-weekend festival draws authors, booksellers, and other literary people from across the country. CLHOF for the first time has a tent. Our partners under the tent are After Hours, Rhino, Chicago Poetry Center, Chicago Quarterly Review, Stories Matter Foundation, Guild Literary Complex, and an author table with Melanie Weiss, Carolyn Armstrong, and Amerlia Forczak. We’ll be passing out literature, chatting with whomever wants to chat, and generally making ourselves available. Come see us. Authors include Colson Whitehead, Faisal Mohyuddin, Nancy Johnson, Vu Tran, Christine Sneed, Ben Tanzer, and many others.
