My poem "At Miller's Pub" appears in the new book Wherever I'm At: An Anthology of Chicago Poetry on page 123. The editors are Donald G. Evans and Robin Metz. This anthology includes work by many poets of different races, genders, and ethnic groups. I'm proud to have a poem in this book. I lived in Chicago from 1973 to 1982 and lived nearby from 1982 to 1988. #poetry#anthology#chicago#chicagopoetry Cover of new anthology of Chicago poetry just published in June 2022
