About this event:
Discover new voices, share new work, and see diverse Chicago poetry styles on display. The Poetry Cram is an open mic event where every attempt will be made to “cram” as many poets into one performance as possible. Published poets from several local presses and spoken word artists from Young Chicago Authors will also read their works.
Advance registration is recommended at the ChicagoPoetry.com exhibitor table in the Grand Lobby, where you can also pick up a free Cram chapbook, or in the Lower Level Reception Hall before the start of the program. Each poet will be allowed to read for three minutes or less.
C.J. Laity is the publisher of ChicagoPoetry.com and has organized, hosted and been featured at various literary events in Chicago over the last two decades, including events for the 2009 AWP Conference, the City of Chicago Blues Festival and the Chicago Tribune Printers Row Book Fair.
