This energetic anthology commemorates 10 years of poetry and performances at Chicago’s Guild Complex. The most impressive part of this book is its variety of subjects and voices: The poems’ settings range from Chicago, as in Kim Berez’s “Poem for Wicker Park Yuppies,” to California, in Quincy Troupe’s “Gray Day in January in La Jolla: 1997.”
