PO Box Poetry Series Reading, Writing Workshop & Potluck

The PO Box Poetry Series was started in the spring of 2022. We bring poets local to the neighborhood together with poets from across Chicago and beyond to form a stronger community through poetry. The readings and writing workshops are free & open to the public.

This month we've got two wonderful poets joining us from out of town – Blaine Purcell and Benjamin Bellet — as well as our local wonder, Stephen Williams. We will, too, be celebrating Stephen and Ben's new books! 

6:30pm - 7:30pm — Join our generative writing workshop and fuel your creativity with free pizza.

7:30pm - 8:00pm — Hang out, grab a drink, and socialize with poetry lovers.

8:00pm - 9:00pm — Sit back and enjoy this month's featured poets!


Masks required for attendees, but not presenter
The PO Box Collective is accessible by ramp with an accessible bathroom and we have 2 air purifiers running.
