Flavorpill says
A shortlist of Poetry magazine’s contributors reads like a who’s who of modernist OGs (Pound, Eliot) and latter-day top brass (Gwendolyn Brooks, John Ashbery). The publishers, Chicago’s Poetry Foundation, carries that breakthrough impulse year-round by hosting remarkable (and often free) literary events. Lectures, readings, and the long-running Poetry Off the Shelf and Poetry On Stage series welcome Chi-lit’s finest alongside laureate-worthy national A-listers.
