…is the number of poems that we–Dave Landsberger, Caroline Macon, Eric Plattner, Kenyatta Rogers, Rachel Slotnick, Becky Wills and I–wrote today while doing Poems While You Wait at The Boulevard street festival in Logan Square, including some for detectives (topics: “Chicago,” “hunting”)…

Thanks to everyone who came out on a perfect late summer day to commission typewritten poetry. You can check out the results of these commissions here. Stay tuned for our next appearance at the Museum of Contemporary Art the evening of Friday, September 6th!
