Reading at the Whistler

A picture of the audience  at the Whistler, a bar on Milwaukee Avenue in Logan Square. Looking at the picture, it’s apparent that it was a pretty white crowd with the only Black person in attendance working behind the bar.Read at The Whistler for the Milwaukee Avenue Messenger issue launch event. Pretty good attendance overall, which was nice to see. Reading my poems, I found myself thinking that they were not too bad at all.

I did have to duck out a little early since I had to help determine whether my son was as prepared as he thought he was to pitch his proposed science fair project to a skeptical teacher.
