Multi-poet Lotería reading with Roddy Lumsden

Poetry magazine, contratiempo, and the Center for Book & Paper Arts at Columbia College Chicago present a themed “multi-poet” event featuring Roddy Lumsden and two dozen Chicago-based writers reading works in conversation with the Center’s current exhibition, Mano/Mundo/Corazón: Artists Interpret La Lotería (the Mexican game of chance, played with pictographic cards and associated riddles).
Poets include:
Santiago Weksler, Veronica Lucuy Alandia, Johanny Vásquez Paz, Jorge García, Marcopolo Soto, Jorge Montiel

Roddy Lumsden has published five books of poetry, most recently Mischief Night: New & Selected Poems and Third Wish Wasted. A sixth collection, Terrific Melancholy, is due in 2011.
