Will you support our annual fundraising campaign?

We are Chicago Poetry: Chicago student writers, Chicago poets, poetry readings across Chicago neighborhoods, and poetry in schools across Chicago. We’re Chicago poetry archives online, the proud legacy they share, and Chicago broadsides. What’s your favorite part of the Chicago Poetry Center? Will you help support it this month?

It takes a city to support this kind of work. Together, we are Chicago, we are creative, we are community. We’re stronger together, making our world better for ourselves and each other. Will you help us by donating or spreading the word today?
