Chicago Poetry Center presents the Blue Hour reading series featuring Courtney LeBlanc & Cynthia Manick -- plus the open mic!

The Chicago Poetry Center presents BLUE HOUR, a free monthly in-person reading series and generative writing workshop. Our September featured readers are Courtney LeBlanc and Cynthia Manick.

Each event takes place at Haymarket House and includes a brief open mic followed by two featured poets. Pre-registration is free and recommended. The open mic includes five readers drawn lottery-style from a hat that goes out at 7:15. The reading starts promptly at 7:30. Each open mic poet reads one poem or for three minutes, whichever comes first.

ACCESSIBLITY: This event includes professional ASL interpretation. Haymarket House is fully ADA compliant and wheelchair accessible. Please let us know if you have any specific accessibility questions; if you use a wheelchair, please contact curator@poetrycenter.org to coordinate use of the ramp.
