Synopsis

The Chicago
Literary Hall of Fame has partnered with Chicago publishers After Hours Press
and Third World Press to produce a definitive collection of poetry by living
Chicago poets. Wherever I'm At: An Anthology of Chicago Poetry features
the work of a widely diverse list of over 160 poets and artists all with strong
ties to Chicagoland. With a Foreword by noted scholar Carlo Rotello, the
new anthology is edited by Donald G. Evans (executive director of the Chicago
Literary Hall of Fame) who completed the project begun by the late
poet-editor-teacher Robin Metz formerly of Knox College.

A dazzling
array of voices representing many generations of Chicagoans grace the pages
of Wherever I'm At including essential poets such as Li-Young
Lee, Elizabeth Alexander, Stuart Dybek, Angela Jackson, Tyehimba Jess, Sandra
Cisneros, Campbell McGrath, Ana Castillo, Maxine Chernoff, Patricia Smith,
Edward Hirsch, Kathleen Rooney, Luis Alberto Urrea, Emily Jungmin Yoon, Luis J.
Rodriguez, Elise Paschen, Sterling Plumpp, Marianne Boruch, Haki Madhubuti,
Rachel DeWoskin, Ed Roberson, Tara Betts, and Reginald Gibbons, to name a
few. The list is exhaustive in its diversity and according to editor Don
Evans, deliberately so. This anthology also showcases the incredible
visuals of an equally talented group of Chicago artists whose work amplifies
the poetic musings throughout.
