Abstract: Veteran reporter and journalism professor Bob McClory tells the story of Father Michael Pfleger, the controversial, activist pastor of St. Sabina's Catholic Church in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood--and one of the few white men (let alone priests) to be the undisputed leader of an African-American religious community.

From Poetry to Verse: Essays on the Making of Modern Poetry

Abstract: "This book and the exhibition it accompanies serve a common purpose: to highlight the archives of poetry journals in the University of Chicago Library and to illustrate their enormous potential for research. The exhibition surveys themes--discovering new talent, poetry in the academy, and creating an audience for poetry--that also shape the essays collected in this volume. Together they illustrate the extent to which writers, editors, curators, and scholars depend upon each other and the importance of poetry journal archives to help us understand these relationships."
