Mills Jr., and Michael Anania, and works published by the Chicago Review and Flood Editions, among others. Featured speakers include Stephanie Anderson, Garin Cycholl, Al Filreis, Phil Jenks, Nancy Kuhl, and Don Share. The symposium will discuss such figures as Alice Notley, Sterling Plumpp, Henry Rago, and Margaret Anderson.
