Woman Made Gallery Poetry Reading Series

event profile:
A beautiful country with a history damning and redeeming in turns. A nation where all have opportunity but one percent of the population controls over a third of the wealth. A crucible of enlightenment democracy that allowed slavery. Poets Sheri Allen, Traci Brimhall, Sarah Carson, Stevie Edwards, Quraysh Ali Lansana, Ugochi Nwaogwugwu and Kathleen Rooney consider the American dream from its many angles.
This event was recorded with the consent and participation of the contributing artists and the host venue, Woman Made Gallery. The recording was originally made available on the web through WBEZ-FM/Chicago Public Radio's Chicago Amplified project.
