Marvin Tate is releasing his first solo CD, Family Swim, produced by Leroy Bach, writes for the literary magazine MAKE, and teaches poetry in the Chicago Public Schools. Marvin also plays with the indie all-stars, the Boogie Band. Marvin Tate was born and raised in Chicago. His first book of poems, A Schoolyard of Broken Dreams was published in 1994 by Tia Chu Cha. For ten years he led the hyperbolic soul band D-Settlement through critically acclaimed shows.

Adam Fitz is best known for his solo work and the subsequent self-released album, Between the Incident and the Event . With a great big, gravely voice that lifts even the most introspective chin, he is a navel-gazing antidote.

 

MAKE: A Chicago Literary Magazine, issue #5 carries the theme, “City in Biography.” Featured work includes “Five Dead Guys,” short stories from John McNally, an interview with Bruce Olds, author of The Moments Lost, and a poetry section selected by guest editor, Ed Roberson, which includes new work from Carolyn M. Rogers, Reginald Gibbons, and Quraysh Ali Lansana. This issue also debuts a new design and layout. ###
