More good things about Marvin Tate's poetry collection 4TH SHIFT: "A contemplative Tate explores the past, finding his voice, and Chicago—the city where he came of age, that city as it was and how it is.” —Tara Betts, author of Refuse to Disappear Available on August 25.

“If you’ve ever heard Marvin Tate perform, you know that each show is a rollicking escapade into the unpredictable.
