About the Chicago Poetry Center’s 50th Anniversary Virtual Learning Series
At the Chicago Poetry Center, we believe that poetry is for everyone: children and adults, career writers and hobbyists, people with creative writing degrees and folks who write privately in their journals. We also believe that information about opportunities in the literary art world should be easily accessible to all.
In celebration of CPC’s 50th anniversary, we’re hosting a series of live virtual presentations that bring Chicago poets into your homes and offices to talk about your “next steps” in poetry: how to submit poems to literary journals, how to apply for writing residencies, and how to organize a poetry manuscript. Bring your questions for a Q&A after each presentation.
