Bookmark and Share Share
 
The Printers' Ball is an annual celebration of print literature in Chicago, hosted by Newcity, Poetry, and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), in collaboration with CHIRP, MAKE: A Chicago Literary Magazine, Proximity Magazine, Stop Smiling, Venus Zine, and over 100 local literary organizations. The event showcases a diverse selection of print publications, available free of charge, including magazines, journals, weeklies, posters, and broadsides, plus a full night of live entertainment.
 
Included here is that night's installment of The Dollar Store reading series, one of several events taking place that evening. A film by Usama Alshaibi was also presented, but could not be included as part of this audio program.

Recorded Friday, August 22, 2008 at Museum of Contemporary Art.
