…is a new series hosted by the Poetry Foundation which “presents work from Chicago’s new and emerging poets and highlights the area’s outstanding writing programs. Each hour-long reading features two Chicagoland college and graduate writing program instructors and two of their current or recent students.” This month, on Tuesday, January 21st at 7 pm, I’ll be presenting the work of recent Roosevelt University MFA graduate Mark Magoon. Reading with us will be John Wilkinson (who, like me, enjoys staring straight into the camera) and his student Gwen Muren (who, like Mark, enjoys gazing thoughtfully to the right) from the University of Chicago. See you there!
