The Poetry Center of Chicago is proud to carry on its mission of supporting poets and poetry across Chicago. Each month the Six Points reading series offers “full spectrum” poetry readings for free to the public. And throughout the school year the Hands On Stanzas program provides jobs for poets and provides weekly poetry writing classes to 1,000 students across CPS: from East Side to Avondale, from Englewood to Humboldt Park, we’re proud of what we foster.
Please consider supporting this mission with a year-end tax deductible donation to the Poetry Center of Chicago. There are two ways to donate, and you can access both on our support page at www.poetrycenter.org/support/
