Seventh annual celebration of print and literary culture takes place July
29 CHICAGO — The Poetry Foundation and Poetry magazine are pleased to
announce the Printers’ Ball: IT’S ALIVE!, presented with the Center for Book
& Paper Arts, the Chicago Underground Library, Columbia College Chicago, and
MAKE magazine. The seventh annual event, one of the largest free
celebrations of literary culture in the country, will take place Friday,
July 29, in Chicago’s South Loop neighborhood. This year’s Printers’ Ball
will include a reading by poet, cartoonist, and former Silver Jews frontman
David Berman, scheduled for 8:00 PM. Berman’s first book of poems is Actual
Air (Open City, 1999). As Poetry contributor Cathy Park Hong has said,

Berman is “a good gateway drug for that stubborn student who hates poetry.”
Berman’s reading will be one of many live performances featured at this
year’s Printers’ Ball, which welcomes more than 200 organizations and 2,000
fans of the literary arts.
