The Open Door Reading Series at the Poetry Foundation…

November 22, 2017 by KR

…presents “work from Chicago’s new and emerging poets and highlights the area’s outstanding writing programs.” Tonight, I got to read in that series with my former DePaul University student and current Poems While You Wait member and friend Andrea Rehani…

…and to share the state with Chicago State University’s inimitable Kelly Norman Ellis…

…and her fantastic student April Gibson:

Thanks to Stephen Young for coordinating the series and for having us…

…to Beyza Ozer and Alexis Pope for technical and logistical assistance on my slide show about Margaret Fishback…

…and to everyone who came out on a Thanks-Tuesday evening to support the Chicago poetry community!
