the Chicago voice
Homespun. Experimental. Grounded. Idealistic. Sophisticated. Soulful. Abstract. Earthy. Individualistic. Chicago is legendary as Carl Sandburg's "city of broad shoulders." And the broadly diverse poets in this catalog are bound together by their significant connections with Chicago. This catalog is Chicago poetry at its fullest voice, and one of the largest catalogs by culture on this site. The Book of Voices has a strong geographic locus in Chicago, and we serve this poetry with positive pride.
