The Chicago Poetry Center’s Six Points Reading Series is having their 2nd Annual Water Taxi Reading in partnership with National Poetry Slam!

We will meet at the Chicago Water Taxi Michigan stop which is located between Trump International Hotel & Tower and the Wrigley Building at the start of The Magnificent Mile on Michigan Avenue. We will get on the taxi at 1:00 PM for a discounted rate of $2.50 per person.

Timothy Rey will host and emcee the reading. Attendees will be able to sign up to read their own original poetry and will end with a reading by a featured poet. Then, we will all get off at the Chinatown stop, which is located on the South Branch of the Chicago River right in the heart of the beautiful, 12-acre Ping Tom Memorial Park.
