The Unofficial Soup Kitchen WWW Poetry Stage

"Please put your hands together and give a big Unofficial... SOUP KITCHEN!... round of applause to..."
This was the cry heard 'round the 'hood every Wednesday night when poets from all corners of Chicago would gather at the Soup for the open mic poetry jam, featuring cheap drinks, live music, bad poetry, and good soup.
Here on the Web, we are featuring collections from Chicago-area veterans of the performance poetry venues and we will be adding to this collection from the poets we meet in The Unofficial Peanut Gallery, our on-line forum for discussion of all things poetry.
Coming soon: spoken word sound files of poets performing live from poetry venues around the world...
