Description

“Milwaukee Avenue” is Kevin Coval's longest single poem, inspired by Frank O'Hara's “Second Avenue.” It wrestles with what is & what's been removed from one of Chicago's most storied streets. A 12-panel fold-out fully illustrated poem, Milwaukee Avenue is a preview of a larger collaboration between Coval & illustrator Langston Allston, whose graphic novel everything must go will release in the fall of 2019.
