Calling Home: An Evening of Poetry & Prose, curated by Aunty Calhoun
@ Comfort Station Logan Square
2579 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60647
Opening Saturday, August 17th, from 5PM - 7PM
Join the Comfort Station and friends in an exploration of home and community through spoken word! Calling Home features some of Chicago’s finest poets and prosaists sharing and exploring their varied experiences and memories of the communities that shape them with the community they are helping to build. An accompaniment to Edra Soto’s La Casa de Todos installation, this evening of poetic license aims for reflection and the celebration of the moments and artifacts that create what we call home.
