Thank you to everyone who joined us at Blatant Gold! 💖
From an outdoor open mic stacked with poems to the featured readings that moved the audience to their feet, the night was a joyful celebration of Chicago’s vibrant poetry community.
Congratulations to Musu Bangura on being recognized with Gwendolyn Brooks Award for Excellence in Teaching, and thank you to Mayda del Valle for a powerful and vulnerable performance.
We hope to see you at next year’s Blatant Gold!
