Tara Betts

Where Does Poetry Hide? is a collection of poems from the fall 2001 Performance Poetry Workshop, a collaboration between Gallery 37 and Young Chicago Authors, featuring students from Westinghouse Career Academy.

Poetry is a literary journal comprised of poems focused on culture. It was founded in 1912 by Harriet Moore.

"Tara Jean Betts has crafted a manual of sweet lyric, corner doowop and unsettling truths, an unerring guidebook for the colored girl who is born into several worlds at once. Praise this raging poetess for trumpeting that hidden voice, for baring its blade edges and giving it space to scream. Her poems are too true to be kept secret and too stunning to be denied."

A collection of poetry, spoken-word performances, and essays concerning the poets, contemporary poetry, and the collaboration between poets and musicians.
