Poetry off the Shelf: David Biespiel, Wendy Willis & Elizabeth Taylor 

We live in a political era of asking ourselves, “What can I do?” For poets, the first answer is “Write.” David Biespiel and Wendy Willis will appear in conversation with Elizabeth Taylor, Chicago Tribune literary editor-at-large, and discuss the necessity of preserving the sanctity of the inner life and wild imagination as a bulwark against an unimaginative, repressive political climate.
