Calvin Forbes — “Room 3404” Broadside Poetry Center of Chicago, 2005 Artwork by Evan Sult

Broadside featuring the poem “Room 3404” by Calvin Forbes, produced by the Poetry Center of Chicago in connection with Forbes’s reading on March 2, 2005.

Forbes taught writing, literature, and jazz history at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and was an important presence in Chicago’s poetry community. His work often carries the tonal influence of jazz and blues, a musicality reflected in both the pacing and voice of the poem.

The broadside pairs Forbes’s poem with artwork by Evan Sult, a Chicago musician and visual artist known as the drummer for the garage rock band The Sultans. In addition to his work in music, Sult has produced illustration and design work that moves between graphic art, architecture, and poster aesthetics. His vertical drawing for this broadside suggests the façade of a city building rising toward an upper room, visually echoing the poem’s title and perspective.

Forbes had served on the Poetry Center’s board prior to KC Clarke’s tenure. During Clarke’s years leading the organization he remained engaged with its programming and continued to support its work within Chicago’s literary community.

The broadside was designed collaboratively, pairing Forbes’s poem with Sult’s artwork as part of the Poetry Center’s ongoing exploration of poetry presented alongside visual art and other disciplines.

From the KC Clarke collection. Related materials are preserved in the Poetry Center archive placed at the University of Chicago in 2005.

The Owl Mag features: Sleepy Kitty - "Projection Room"

The Owl Mag's take on the new album from Sleepy Kitty Music! "This album exemplifies what independent music should be (they even reference Godard!) a questioning of what they can do with their song narrative and how they can jump to that next level-just the two of them on the stage, loopin’ it up."
