• Franny the Bookstore Cat: Sadly, I have yet to visit the Powell's in Portland, Tim. Maybe I need to make a pilgrimage, but then I'd have to get an escort, because they don't allow cats on planes if they're not in a carrier. I will indeed ask Kevin about the criteria, though; that seems more feasible for the time
  
  
• zach: This is an awesome magazine. Everyone should submit.
  
  
• zach: Ya, Powell's is amazing. The section is also huge. I think that helps. I think it's good. If it promotes instead of marginalizing. This is a hard question. I want more time to think. In general.
  
  

10th Annual Poetry Fest

Chicago in Books, Readings Rated by Lilly on Saturday 25 April 2009 at 5:40 pm

Today’s temperamental weather was well-suited for Chicago’s 10^th Annual Poetry Fest. Snugly tucked away in the basement rooms of Harold Washington Library, Poetry Fest’s schedule included morning meetings, a reading by Pulitzer Prize recipient Rita Dove, and Poetry Cram: An Open Mic.

I attended Poetry Cram, which operates under the objective of including as many poets into the two-hour performance as possible.  Poets present represented a kaleidoscope of local presses, including (but not limited to) Free Lunch, After Hours, and Third World Press and was emcee’d by ChicagoPoetry.com founder C.J. Laity.  In case you missed it, the Cram was recorded for WBEZ: Chicago Public Radio, air-date unknown.

here's Chicago poet Tara Stringfellow and her 1st published book. Congrats to all participants on some great work!
