The PO Box Poetry Series – Every Third Thursday
February 20 @ 6:30 am - 9:30 pm
The Po Box Poetry Series was started in the Spring of 2022. We aim to bring poets local to the neighborhood together with poets from across Chicago and beyond to form a stronger community through poetry. The readings are free & open to the public.
The Feb 20th reading features: Leah Dawson, Diego Báez, and Gaux Wilhite.
Before the reading, we host a generative writing workshop and potluck coordinated by Alex J. Cope. The workshop is led by different visiting writers. All are welcome to join: this is a low-stakes time to write, eat, and meet artists in the community. The reading itself starts at 8:00pm.
6:30-7:30 Writing Workshop
7:30-8:00 Refreshments
8:00-9:00 Poetry Reading
The PO Box space is wheelchair accessible, has a single stall accessible bathroom, and 2 air filters are always running. Masks are required (free masks will be provided to those who don’t have one).
