Franny Choi will be this month's Parallax feature. Last time she was in town she said she was about 90% convinced that she should move to Chicago. This woman would be an AMAZING addition to the community. Think about what a blessing it's been since Fati moved here! I propose that we start drafting amazing young talent (we are a TEAM after all). Check out the bio from her website. Let's show this poet some love! I'm going to present her with the signatures at the show. SIGN HERE.
