What is Waiting 4 the Bus?

Waiting 4 the Bus is a poetry collective.  It's a workshop. It's writers talking to writers about writing. It's the creator and publisher of the journal "Exact Change Only" (coming soon)

What is a poetry collective?
A poetry collective is a collaboration of like-minded poets. This collaboration may not actually exist for the creation of poetic art (this can be done by members separately or together.) In my head the collective exists for the distribution, marketing, performance, and execution of the poetic art form. It's a loose structure, a community of equals.

What is the purpose of this site?
We are about Poetry.  Aside from the shameless self-promotion,  this site is about Poetry in Chicago.  Of course will keep you up to date on all things W4tB but we'll also have some book reviews and interviews.  We will also keep you up to date on the progress of our journal "Exact Change Only".  We are new to all this stuff, so be patient with us.  We have big dreams and big goals.  We have chosen to share those with all of you.  We like poetry and hopefully, if you're looking at this, you like poetry too.  If your looking for a place to perform your work, or slam, or just listen, perhaps we can point you in the right direction.  We like our show at W4tB, but we aren't greedy.  We are all Chicago Poetry.

W4tB presents:The Extra Monday Show
some months have 5 Mondays.
We're only used to 4.
What do you do with an extra Monday?
You come out to the Cafe Ballou to see
The W4tB players in a production of Esteban Colon's Edgar Avenue.

Esteban Colon’s Edgar Avenue is a gloriously intense magnification of the so-often layered complexities of human relationships. His carefully chosen spotlight of words paints the outline of characters whose thoughts and observations allow the audience to create its own unique avenue of players.


-- DENA POPE

Edgar Avenue is a multi-voice poem cycle written by one of W4tB's founders.  Esteban Colon explores the depth of interpersonal communication through the exploitation of  the secrets we keep and the things we think but dare not say.
