Bad Poetry (and Beer)

April is National Poetry Month, and we're celebrating as only poets can. Have a beer (or two) and create terrible poetry with the help of our prompts, then read it aloud for our panel of judges to win prizes! Awards go to the worst poems of the night. Judges and guest readers include author Amy Jo Cousins, comedian James Park, and your neighbors, so bring your old notebooks to this 21+ event and remember—write drunk, edit sober. This event is a partnership between the West Town Branch of the Chicago Public Library and High Dive, which has so generously donated their space. Please let us know if you're interested in attending so we can get a tentative head count (and so I know how many prizes I might need for all your fabulously terrible attempts at poetry)!
