My friend, colleague, and co-author Marc Kelly Smith has invited me to join him at the 25th annual Printers Row Lit Fest in Chicago where the master of Slam Poetry, Slampapi himself, will be promoting our two latest books, Take the Mic and Stage a Poetry Slam, and performing on stage.
Please join us on Saturday June 6 and Sunday June 7 from 10 am to 6 pm. The Lit Fest is a free, two-day literary extravaganza featuring more than 200 authors, 100 literary programs, and 160 booksellers. For more information, head to the Chicago Tribune’s Printers Row Lit Fest page.
I’ll be hanging out pretty much all day on Saturday. Marc’s planning to arrive at around 2:30 pm when he returns from the Southern Fried Poetry Slam in Durham, North Carolina. To catch Marc, you may want to show up sometime before 3 pm. Here’s when he’s scheduled to do his thing:
- Saturday, 6/6/2009, 3:15 p.m. on the Arts & Poetry Stage: Marc Kelly Smith promoting our new books, Take the Mic and Stage a Slam.
- Saturday, 6/6/2009, 5 p.m. on the Arts & Poetry Stage: The Chicago Poetry Foundation presents the Chicago Poetry Audio Tour Premiere with Marc reading a couple of Sandburg poems in this marathon of Chicago poems.
