Newcity Lit has named our upcoming event, Power Lines Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Celebration, the top literary event in Chicago for May 2025!
Presented in partnership with the Poetry Foundation and the Poetry Center, this special evening marks 25 years since the release of Power Lines, the groundbreaking 1999 anthology that captured a decade of vibrant poetry and voices from Chicago through the lens of The Guild Literary Complex. Join us as we honor the legacy of the book and the poets who helped define a generation of literary innovation.
