The Aesthetics of Research Salon Series is a regular schedule of readings / discussions with Columbia & Chicago Community authors about their work and the materials/ inspirations from which that work springs, with a particular eye toward how libraries and research in particular inform and support the creative process. Each installment highlights and brings in writers from an array of presses, orgs, and reading series in the Chicago area. For more information, visit aestheticsofresearch.com
