Slut Lullabies

Catalog Number: 
Book, Frangello, Gina
Date: 
2010
Abstract: 
"Simply put, Gina Frangello is a fearless writer, unafraid to show us the raw and real ways we deal with each other, and with ourselves, and the stories in slut lullabies are no exception. Her richly developed characters are alive and breathing in these beautiful, sometimes brutal stories, and her powers of observation about the human psyche are alarmingly dead on"

Book, Boone, Mark A.
Date: 
1996
Abstract: 
"In Guildworks you will hear voices as individual and powerful as those you will find in any urban collection of poetry and prose. They are representative of a people who live in a part of Chicago that refuses to be judged by what it lacks but, rather, by what it contributes to the life of a city that well knows how it feels to be perceived as a cultural stepchild. All labels aside, we are proud to introduce to a larger audience the best of the West Side Writers Guild."

"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."
