Poets for Chicago: A Night of Art & Community Benefiting ICIRR will take place on Thursday, December 11, from 7-11 pm, at Co-Prosperity, 3219 S Morgan St, Chicago.
100% of proceeds from this event will go to the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights, who is doing critical work to keep our neighbors safe and make Illinois a more welcoming place for all.
DePaul’s own Mark Turcotte and Tara Betts will be part of the all-star reading lineup—alongside New York Times Bestselling Author Erika L. Sánchez, National Book Award winner Daniel Borzutzky, National Book Award finalist Robyn Schiff, and many others.
All attendees are asked for a minimum $20 donation to ICIRR in lieu of a ticket, which can be made in advance or at the door.
This event is being organized by a coalition of Chicago literary curators, including the Exhibit B collective, Jeffrey Wolf (An Inconvenient Hour), Simone Muench and Kenyatta Rogers (Sunday Reading Series), S. Yarberry (PO Box Collective), Ben Niespodziany (Neon Night Mic), and others.
