ICYMI: A Bigger Table Closing Screening

In September, the Poetry Foundation hosted a closing event for CPC’s 50th anniversary exhibition. The afternoon included a screening of A Bigger Table: 50 Years of the Chicago Poetry Center, a short documentary about the organization, and a panel discussion featuring filmmaker Moyo Abiona, CPC Poet in Residence Joy Young, and CPC Director of Programs Helene Achanzar. Check out the photos below, see moments captured on film by Maritza Lara, and stream the documentary to learn more about the organization’s roots as a platform for censored writers to its present-day mission of continuing to build a bigger table for poets in Chicago and beyond.
