Afterwords Chicago, Global Poetry Night
after-words bookstore
23 e Illinois street
Special Event Space at the back
5:30pm
We are co-hosting our first ever hybrid poetry reading event!
Live performers at the bookstore reading room will alternate with remote poets seen on a large screen using Zoom - 7 local Chicago poets and 8 poets from all over the world – Japan, Greece, Philippines, India, Mexico, Singapore and Canada - will be featured. Each poet will perform a 5-6 minute set to keep the event to about 2 hours.
The event is free
The group we are hosting is the PGN-Poetry Global Network, www.poetryglobalnetwork.com, an online resource that evolved during COVID, incorporated in the UK, for all things poetry: workshops, events, festivals and open mics. This year they partnered with The Nottingham Poetry Festival and Poetry Festival Singapore in similar events, and the response was amazing.
