Description

E’mon Lauren is a Chicago born-and-raised poet who was named Chicago’s first Youth Poet Laureate. She writes poetry and playwriting to explore a philosophy of hood womanism. She hosts “The Real Hoodwives of Chicago,” a podcast for artists of color to talk love, sex, romance, and ratchetry. On “Stories, But Shorter,” E’mon shares four pieces from her first published chapbook of poems “COMMANDO.” E’mon and host, Cassi Jerkins, have quick talkbacks in between each poem to dive deeper into what it’s really like to grow up in Chicago vs. how the media depicts Chicago life and culture.
