October’s Writer

~ Partial Press ~ Leave a comment

(Drumroll please…) Our October writer is Emily Parenti!

Emily Parenti is a writer and recent graduate of DePaul University’s English Literature and Professional Writing programs. During the 2013-2014 academic year, she served as Co- Editor-in-Chief of the university’s literary magazine, Crook & Folly, which publishes graduate and undergraduate creative work. She has since worked as an editor on various other projects, including a chapbook distributed by a new Chicago-based journal of creative nonfiction, Slag Glass City.

Emily’s poem, Execution Points, will be on view at CMM Framing for the first three weeks of October. Literature Emitting Diodes is proud to be included in Chicago Artists Month, and we are excited to feature Emily’s work as part of it.

3 More Days to See “Packrats” by Lisa Torem

Sadly, we will be removing our current installation in the evening of this Thursday, the 24th.

That means you still have three days to view our current work, Packrats, by Chicago author and journalist Lisa Torem. Take advantage of this swell fall weather and get out to Lincoln Square while you still can!

Fortunately, Laurie’s Planet of Sound won’t be going anywhere, so even after Thursday you’ll be able to get new and used vinyl, books, movies and more. Our installation is just a few steps from the Brown Line stop at Western and there’s plenty of parking nearby. Don’t miss it!

Chicago Artists Month!

~ Partial Press ~ Leave a comment

Today we received the exciting news that Literature Emitting Diodes is included as an official exhibition/installation for the 2015 Chicago Artists Month.

We have yet to announce the featured writer or location of the piece, since we are still accepting submissions. We will announce that information on this site, our Facebook page, and the Chicago Artists Month list of exhibitions as soon as we have selected our October writer. We are still accepting submissions for October until September 5th, so send in your work for a chance to have your writing in the Chicago Artists Month!

The above link to the list of projects will take you to a long and inspiring list of exhibitions. Here’s our profile in case you couldn’t find it in the list.

August’s Installation at The Armadillo’s Pillow

~ Partial Press ~ Leave a comment

Our August publication, I am solar by Chicago writer Eric Shoemaker, is up and running at The Armadillo’s Pillow. Shoemaker suggested that his piece reside somewhere in Rogers Park, and we were elated when one of our favorite bookstores agreed to host our LED display. The Armadillo’s Pillow always features excellent window displays, so we are especially proud to be included.

You can come by and read I am solar anytime, but if you want to browse through a great selection of used and uncommon books, as well as art, jewelry, and even coffee (!) then you should stop in during store hours:
Sun-Fri: 12:00-8:00PM
Sat: 10:00-8:00PM

The Armadillo’s Pillow is located just North of Loyola at:
6753 N Sheridan Rd.
Chicago, IL 60626

Please stop in to support local writers, artists and business. We are very grateful for The Armadillo’s Pillow’s partnership and proud to present this exceptional poem.
