L-Vis Lives On
If you missed the L-Vis Lives: Racemusic Poems book release party at the Metro this past Wednesday, you've still got a few more chances to catch it. L-Vis Lives is the work of Kevin Coval, the Def Poet from Northbrook and artistic director of Louder Than A Bomb: The Chicago Teen Poetry Festival. L-Vis Lives explores race, art and appropriation in American culture. Che "Rhymefest" Smith says "Kevin Coval brings artistic taboo to the light in his new book L-Vis Lives. His courage and fragility shows why he's one of Chicago's most talented writers." Further L-Vis Lives book release parties are scheduled for September 19 at the Skokie Barnes and Noble (55 Old Orchard Center, Skokie, at 7:30pm), October 5 at 57th Street Books
(1301 E. 57th 'Street at 2pm) and October 12 at Quimby's (1854 W. North Ave., 7pm).
