Thursday, November 3rd – Windy City Queer Release Party, 7 p.m. Windy City Queer: LGBTQ Dispatches from the Third Coast Release Party, Women & Children First, 5233 N. Clark St., Chicago
Chicago’s contributions to LGBTQ literature have been invaluable yet largely uncelebrated over the last century. This groundbreaking anthology charts a map of queer Chicago and showcases its thriving urban arts community, which boasts a unique history, legacy, and sensibility deeply rooted in the urban Midwest. For tonight’s program, editor Kathie Bergquist is joined by contributors to the book: an outstanding array of award-winning poets and writers culled from Chicago’s queer literary landscape.
Refreshments will be served.
