Highland Park Poetry is pleased to collaborate with the Cultural Arts Commission and HPCAN to present storefront window poems.  These small gems are visible in downtown locations as well as the Ravinia business district.  Currently there are summer poems featured at 1835 Second Street, 1775 St. Johns Avenue as well as 597 Roger Williams Avenue.  The poems are written by Highland Park residents as well as poets from Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.  Enjoy! 

Highland Park Poetry is accepting submissions of short poems (no longer than 10 lines) for autumn-themed windows.  Interested?  Please contact jennifer@highlandparkpoetry.org.
