Noel Perez-White
Noel is a poet, educator, and proud Chicago South-Sider. When Noel isn’t teaching Reading and Literature at a CPS magnet school, you can find her around town writing poetry with her typewriter and the other poets of Poems While You Wait, a literary non-profit. As someone born and raised in Chicago, Noel is excited to work with the Chicago Poetry Center to continue the work of equitably engaging communities all over the city with people and poetry. If Noel was stranded on a deserted island, she would choose Sandra Cisneros, Emily Dickinson, and Shel Silverstein to be with her.
