Deep Dish Poem-a-Month (formerly poem-a-week) features great poems by Chicago authors and other writers who have a literary history with Chicago. It is edited by Valerie Wallace, an award winning poet who leads poetry workshops around Chicago. Please send comments, suggestions or questions to valeriemw@gmail.com.

I welcome your suggestions for featured poems. Poems must already be published as part of a book-length collection by that author (not an anthology or chapbook) and I need to be able to verify the title of the book, publisher and copyright date.

Thank you for your interest in Deep Dish! I look forward to hearing from you.
