ABOUT:
Champaign-Urbana has a strong literary tradition spanning decades from The Red Herring Poetry Workshop through today’s CU Poetry Group as well as many other community poets and poetry groups. LITERARY MARATHON! is a gathering of 20+ poets over two evenings doing what they love to do – sharing their work, their passion, their poems in public. These poets have been selected on the basis of their work and stage presence.
CU Poetry Group is a weekly workshop for community poets dedicated to keeping poetry visible in Champaign-Urbana through public readings, poetry contests, and community outreach.
