Event Details

Celebrate Poetry Month with a discussion about Oak Park and the poetic arts. Rebecca Morgan FrankSamina Hadi-TabassumPatricia McMillen, and Al DeGenova will each read some poems before joining anthology editor Donald G. Evans in the discussion.

Wherever I'm At: An Anthology of Chicago Poetry features a large variety of artists from throughout the Chicago area. The poems move around, from Hyde Park to the West Side to the Gold Coast to Evanston, etc. Perhaps no neighborhood, or adjacent suburb, boasts better representation than Oak Park. The village boasts an enormously talented artistic community and heritage, some transplants, some natives.
