As promised, here are a few images of Caroline S. Knickmeier’s poem, Cables. You can see it for yourself throughout the month of April at RoscoeBooks.
Having, once again, frozen our fingers off to take these photos, we’d recommend visiting during business hours so you can warm your hands around a new book.
Here are a few images from this morning’s installation at RoscoeBooks (including Carley entering the ultra-top-secret password into our display).
We carefully gaffed our extension cord over the bookcases, which took longer than it should have because we kept getting distracted by all the books in front of us. If you like literature, then you’ll definitely want to stop by and browse for yourself!
We’ll be sharing more photos of the Caroline S. Knickmeier’s poem, Cables, soon, so check back.
Our home for April will be yet another awesome independent bookstore: RoscoeBooks. We will be installing Cables, by Caroline S. Knickmeier on Monday, April 4th for your reading pleasure.
RoscoeBooks is located at 2142 W Roscoe St, Chicago, IL 60618, just a short walk from the Paulina Brown Line stop.
They are open:
M, W, Sa: 10-7
Th, F: 10-8
Su: 11-7
Make sure to check out their website or Facebook page to keep up with all their news and events!
Attention writers: we are currently accepting work for our May installation. The deadline is April 5th, so send us up to 3 pieces that are each under 500 words. Go to our Submissions Page for more details.
June will be our final installation, so this is your second to last chance to get your work on our LED display (and our website, and in our forthcoming print anthology)!
We were lucky to do our install on a cloudy morning and snag a few good photos, but we went back tonight to record our video of Ruby Figueroa’s piece, Cancer Baby Girl.
Here are a couple more images. Don’t miss your chance to visit the installation in person to read the whole poem and get the full experience!
Not pictured: the many people who stopped to pose in front of the camera as we recorded the video. Stay tuned for a blooper reel?
Don’t forget to visit Ruby Figueroa’s piece, Cancer Baby Girl, at Belli’s Juicebar and Market on 18th and Allport. Here are a few more images to pique your interest.
We’re so grateful to Belli’s Chicago in Pilsen for hosting our project in their wonderful juicebar and market. We took advantage of the cloudy day to bring you a few photos (posted below) from this morning’s installation. Ruby Figueroa’s piece, Cancer Baby Girl, will be up for the next three weeks right on 18th and Allport.
It’s a new month and that means a new installation! We are grateful that Belli’s Juicebar is partnering with us to share Ruby Figueroa’s writing with her own neighborhood, Pilsen.
Beginning this Saturday, March 5th, you’ll be able to read Ruby’s Cancer Baby Girl while you sip on delicious small batch juices (of course we’ve tried them – what sort of editors would install poetry in a juicebar without checking first?)
Belli’s is located at 1221 W 18th St, Chicago, IL 60608.
Their hours are:
T-F: 9:00 – 7:00
S-Su: 9:00 – 5:00
Of course, you’ll be able to read Ruby’s writing 24/7.
Calling all writers!
Send us poetry or prose under 500 words by March 5th to be considered for our April installation. Writers may submit up to three pieces for consideration, so don’t be shy!
See our submission guidelines for more details.
Given the full moon, it seemed like an appropriate time to photograph Lambent again. That’ll make sense to those of you who have read the poem, which will stay up at Women and Children First through the end of the month.
If you’re in Chicago, then go out and read Lambent, by Chicago writer Laura Knickelbine, under the full moon for yourself. Otherwise you’ll have to wait another week for us to archive it online.
