For many of us, poetry is an antidote to the modern world. And few poets cut through the chatter with such verve and wit as Rae Armantrout. Armantrout was a founding member of the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E movement, a group of poets that emerged from the late-1960s San Francisco scene. Since then she’s continued to woo readers, fellow poets, and critics alike – winning both the Pulitzer and National Book Critics Circle Award for her book "Versed." Now she visits Chicago to celebrate her latest volume, "Itself."
