SUMMARY:Palabra Pura: Urban Realities/Realidades urbanas
DESCRIPTION:Chicago is a complicated place\, a city where senseless acts of violence and random acts of kindness happen every day\, where some can dare to dream and others dream of escaping their nightmares. Luis Tubens and young poets from Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos High School will lead us in an exploration of the urban realities that affect the daily lives and future destinies of those who make Chicago their home. \nThis month’s Palabra Pura is curated by Mary Hawley. Arrive early to sign up for the open mic. \nPalabra Pura is pay-what-you-can ($5 suggested donation). Audience contributions support honorariums for the curators and featured authors. \nClick here to RSVP on Facebook. \n  \nABOUT OUR FEATURE \n \nLuis Tubens (Logan Lu) is a Chicago born Puerto Rican poet. His narrative poems depict the gritty ambiance of the inner-cityscape while describing reflective personal experiences. He draws inspiration from the urban realities of the developing Latino diaspora and from his observations of proletarian struggles. His interactive style and hyper performance invite the crowd to be active participants in his performance. \n  \nABOUT OUR CURATOR \nMary Hawley is the author of Double Tongues\, a poetry collection\, and co-translator of the bilingual poetry anthology Astillas de luz/Shards of Light\, both published by Tía Chucha Press. She works as a freelance writer\, editor\, and translator\, and has been involved for many years with the Guild Complex’s Palabra Pura bilingual reading series. Her poems have appeared in journals and anthologies such as The Bloomsbury Review\, Mudlark\, contratiempo\, Notre Dame Review\, and Power Lines: A Decade of Poetry from Chicago’s Guild Complex. \n
