Hello, readers. This is Chiwan Choi. I am one of the editors of Cultural Weekly. I am also a poet, with three books published, currently working on the fourth. I have also written here on these pages. I am writing this post to announce I’ve launched a Patreon. For those who don’t know, Patreon is …
When Chiwan Choi first walked into my class over 25 years ago, he was a 17-year old teenager, quiet and introspective. The writers in my Method Writing class were all adults, well into their 30s, and many even older. Some had already written books, novels, poems, plays, screenplays even (what a concept in Hollywood!), and …
[dropcap size=dropcap]T[/dropcap]his time each year so many of us are consumed with the annual march to declaring our new year’s resolutions. Lose some weight, start exercising, eat better, read more, travel more, be kinder, etc, etc. Certainly nothing wrong with that. Hell, as I write this introduction I’m on day one of my six-month attempt to …

I know I am not alone when I say that for me, every month is National Poetry Month. As great as April is with its annual celebration of National Poetry Month, this festival of poetry lasts all year for me and many of my peers. May 2015 has been a very eventful period with poetic …
For the past two years, Cultural Weekly has given me a place to write about the adventures of a tiny (tiny…tiny) publisher called Writ Large Press. My files say this is the 88th entry in my weekly column, Literary Alchemy, although I don’t know how accurate that is. Cultural Weekly gave me a chance to …
#90for90. Tomorrow, we will wrap up our impossible and perfect DTLAB summer project. We will do it with a PUBLISH! event, to bring the entire endeavor—90 literary, musical, cultural events over 90 consecutive nights—back to whom it belongs: you. Join us at Traxx Bar for one final time and get published. There will be all …
Before I say anything else, Judeth and I wanted to say thanks to everyone who came out to our combo birthday/bon voyage party that marked the 50th night of #90for90. It was an incredible outpouring of love and care and joy. Judeth is now in Pittsburgh, starting her life at Carnegie Mellon and I am …
It’s safe to say that DTLAB has found a home inside the Union Station. More specifically, inside the Traxx Bar inside the Union Station. Every night has been a special event and I find myself surprised each time. As we near the halfway point (FINALLY!!! ALREADY???), we’re starting to pick up a bit of a …
As you read this, DTLAB should be wrapping up our July schedule. Last event of July will be our 34th event. And the month will close beautifully with an Evening of Ramadan Poetry.

Oh. Good. God. DTLAB – Take Three. No no. Not the triple take, and definitely not a quadruple take, although this video of Patrick Stewart is the single greatest video of all time: [embedvideo id=”XFMrBldVk0s” website=”youtube”] What I mean is, this happened: We had to move DTLAB to another location. Again. And we’re still alive. …
OK! Ass deep in our #90fo90 DTLAB project! But I wanted to fill you in on a couple of big news items and mention a few of the amazing events coming up at the LAB. 10! 10! 10! As the old saying goes, the first 10 events of a 90 events in 90 days is …
Anywhere and everywhere you can help us make people aware of the great events at DTLAB!
Of individuals and community. Of the personal and public. Of interior and exterior. DTLAB begins.
