Fifth Wednesday Journal will host a special program of poetry
and music in the new Poetry Foundation Building located at 61 W. Superior
Street, only a short distance from the Chicago Loop and the shores of Lake
Michigan.
In addition to their own poetry, Susan Hahn, Larry Lieberman, Christina Pugh, Ed Roberson, and Kevin Stein will read from the work of Archibald MacLeish, G. E. Murray, Gwendolyn Brooks, Carolyn Rodgers, and Carl Sandburg.
Stay for a conversation with the presenters, our moderator James Ballowe, and the editor of Fifth Wednesday Journal following the readings. Wine, refreshments, and music will enhance your enjoyment of the evening.
This event is free and open to the public. The AWP Conference and Book Fair will be in town, so you may want to arrive early to be sure you have a seat.
