Don't forget to calibrate these dates with the many promising readings this fall
at the Chicago Poetry Project http://www.chicagopoetryproject.org, the Discrete
Series http://www.lavamatic.com/discrete/index.htm, the Danny's Tavern series
http://noslander.com/dannys.html, and the readings at Myopic http://
www.myopicbookstore.com/poetry.html. The website http://
ChicagoPostmodernPoetry.com is yr best one-stop shop for such events (among other
things); http://goldenrulejones.blogspot.com also does good work assembling a
somewhat wider range of local readings (i.e., he includes fiction, and what the
Poetry Center, etc., has afoot).
