Kevin Coval Focuses on the Gentrification of Wicker Park in New Book "Everything Must Go"

Kevin Coval's newest book "Everything Must Go" celebrates Chicago's Wicker Park in the 1990's, which served as the poet's home as a young artist. It focuses on the politicization and gentrification of black and brown communities at large and speaks to other cities that are also enduring similar change.

Listen as the poet, activist and founder of Young Chicago Authors speaks with Jill Hopkins on The Morning AMp to discuss the book and what inspired it!
