Chicago Artisan Market – Live Poetry Event

Celebrate Bastille Day at the Chicago Artisan Market in the Fulton Market District! Tickets for this Flagship Sunday Market are available here!

Find me there and I will write you a personalized poem on a vintage typewriter while you wait as a part of the Poems While You Wait Collective!

What is Poems While You Wait?

We are a collective of poets & manual typewriters whose mission is to appear around the city in public places — street festivals, museums, libraries, theaters, & events — to provide our patrons with a magical, unexpected, unpretentious, & decontextualized encounter with poetry. No requested topic is too big or too small, too funny or too sad, too silly or too serious.

When?

10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Be sure to grab your tickets ahead of time here or at the door for $10.
