| Billy Corgan will give a multi-media
performance of his poetry to kick off the Poetry Center
of Chicago's thirty-first annual Reading Series on
September 17th.
The Zwan frontman joins a
list of Poetry Center readers that has, over the years,
included Saul Bellow, Margaret Atwood, William S.
Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and David Mamet. Corgan has
assembled a collection of his verse and was recently in
New York City to shop it around to book publishers.
Details of the reading are scant, but according to
the Poetry Center, Corgan's reading will emphasize "the
link between poetry, song lyrics and music."
The event will be held at the Art Institute of
Chicago's Rubloff Auditorium and will benefit the Poetry
Center of Chicago. Tickets are available through
TicketWeb for $35.
