  4. Elise Paschen: poetry for teens caters to the rebel in each of us

    Elise Paschen has a knack for getting poetry into the hands of people who might not know they need it. Nearly 10 years ago, while still the executive director of the Poetry Society of America, she paired with Naperville-based Sourcebooks to create “Poetry Speaks,” an anthology including recordings of notable poets reading their works so that readers could listen to the words as well as read them. In 2005, Paschen launched "Poetry Speaks to Children," aimed at attracting young readers to poems. It, too, was a success. This month Paschen sets out to expose poetry to another hard-to-get audience: teenagers.

  5. Book places: Hall Library

    Known as the “Black Jewel of the Midwest,” the George Cleveland Hall Branch of the Chicago Public Library has been serving the Bronzeville community since 1932. Earlier this year, it was recommended for landmark status for its role as a centerpiece of the Black Renaissance movement from the 1930s to the 1950s. Vivian G. Harsh, the branch's original head librarian and the first African-American to run a CPL branch, amassed her collection of African-American literature and history here. Through classes, programs and book clubs, she attracted notable Chicago writers such as Richard Wright, Langston Hughes and Lorraine Hansberry. “The programs brought in the cream of the crop of the African-American community,” said Beverly Cook, archivist of the Harsh Collection, which is now at Woodson Regional Library. Hall's enduring legacy, however, may be its children's programming, initiated in 1932 by children's librarian Charlemae Hill-Rollins, and continued today with weekly reading times for toddlers, kids and young adult discussion groups. Classes are offered for guitar, chess and computer basics. Authors and other performances, such as dance troupes, draw crowds to the 60-seat auditorium. For a library steeped in history, it remains vital today, with roughly 10,000 visitors monthly, according to head librarian Donna Morris.

  12. 3 days in Iowa, for gays and progressives alike

    DES MOINES -- During the weekly Sunday afternoon drag show at The Garden, one of this state's handful of gay clubs, a crisis emerged. As audience members nursed their beers in the dim room, the performer scheduled to next step forward and twist and twirl to Madonna or Bette Midler or what have you was slow to emerge because he was struggling with his wigs backstage. The master of ceremonies, decked in his own long auburn hair and flowered dress, tried to soothe the restless crowd by explaining the seriousness of the situation.
