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!
