Archambeau and Berger performed as part of the Poetry Foundation’s Open Door series. Every month, the Open Door series presents work from Chicago’s new and emerging poets and highlights the area’s outstanding writing programs.

Each hour-long event features readings by two Chicagoland writing program instructors and two of their current or recent students. In addition to Archambeau and Berger, October’s reading presented the School of the Art Institute’s Quraysh Ali Lansana and his student Sebastian Bitticks.
