A review of the participating organizations and artists in the Chicago Artists International Program (CAIP) from 1996. Documents the fascinating experiences of the talented artists, musicians, dancers, writers, and arts administrators in Chicago's international cultural exchange program.

"This book and the exhibition it accompanies serve a common purpose: to highlight the archives of poetry journals in the University of Chicago Library and to illustrate their enormous potential for research. The exhibition surveys themes--discovering new talent, poetry in the academy, and creating an audience for poetry--that also shape the essays collected in this volume. Together they illustrate the extent to which writers, editors, curators, and scholars depend upon each other and the importance of poetry journal archives to help us understand these relationships."

“This is a work of Fusion Poetry. It is meant, as all good poetry is meant, to be read aloud.” A collection of impassioned poems on a variety of subjects.

One in a series of chapbooks published of writers at the Guild Complex. Varied poems, offering inspirational looks at love, culture, personal history, and the power of hip hop.

Thoughts on culture, both here and abroad, explored in personal accounts of a trip to Europe.
