Hip-Hop Poet Celebrates New Book at Oakton
Northbrook native Kevin Coval will read selections from his latest book at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 10, as part of the Chicago Writers Series at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines.
Readings are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
A graduate of Glenbrook North High School, Coval will perform selected poems from Everyday People (EM Press). Coval also is the author of Slingshots (A Hip-Hop Poetica) and co-founder of Louder Than A Bomb: The Chicago Teen Poetry Festival, the world’s largest youth poetry competition. A veteran of Chicago Public Radio and HBO’s Def Poetry Jam, Coval uses hip-hop to explore issues of identity and inequality.
