  • Exhibit: Poets and Publishers of the Black Arts Movement
    –
    ZSR Library, Special Collections & Archives Research Room (Room 625)
    The 1960s and 70s saw a flowering of African-American poetry unprecedented in American literary history. The poets of the Black Arts Movement fused artistic experimentation with political engagement, giving voice to the complexities of the Black experience in the years immediately following the civil rights movement. This exhibit draws on ZSR Special Collections’ extensive holdings to highlight the achievements of both the poets and the people who published them during these pivotal decades in American history.
  • 100 Years of Edward Gorey, 1925-2025
    –
    ZSR Library, Special Collections & Archives Research Room (Room 625)
    Join us in celebrating the upcoming centenary of author, artist, and designer Edward St. John Gorey. Born in Chicago in 1925, Gorey had a multifaceted career that spanned 50 years. He gained a cult following with his unique aesthetic, which was simultaneously whimsical and morbid, sinister and surreal.

    ZSR Special Collections and Archives’ Halloween event will feature a pop-up exhibit of Gorey books from our collection and a Gorey trivia quiz, as well as spooky snacks and giveaways. All are welcome!.
