- Summary
- "Every week at the Guild Complex - Chicago's internationally renowned, cross-cultural, literary center - poets open themselves up to the audience. They lay their hearts and minds on the stage for strangers and friends to inspect, picking apart their lives and the world around them, searching for answers and questions in a communal ritual called "a poetry reading." Power Lines: A Decade of Poetry from Chicago's Guild Complex celebrates the first decade of the award-winning literary center and its publishing wing Tia Chucha Press. Through the words of some of the poets who provided the artistic foundation upon which the organization was built, Power Lines makes sense of a decade of words."--Jacket
