Newcity Lit 50 — “Who Really Books in Chicago” Chicago, 2004 & 2005
Clippings from Newcity’s annual Lit 50 issue naming Kenneth Clarke in connection with The Poetry Center of Chicago.
The 2004 listing references the Center’s work in bringing new audiences to poetry, staging readings beyond conventional literary venues, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations, and sustaining the broadside series pairing poets with visual artists.
The 2005 listing notes the placement of The Poetry Center archive within the University of Chicago Library, situating the organization’s historical materials within a permanent institutional collection and extending its documentary record into an academic setting.
