Join the esteemed poets Gabriel Dozal and José Olivarez for the captivating event, "Authors on Tap: Gabriel Dozal and José Olivarez." Taking place at Exile in Bookville in Chicago on October 12th, this event is a celebration of Gabriel Dozal's remarkable debut poetry collection titled "The Border Simulator." During the event, Gabriel will engage in a thought-provoking conversation with José Olivarez, adding an extra layer of depth to the evening. 

In "The Border Simulator: Poems," Gabriel Dozal transports readers to a world where the U.S.-Mexico border takes on a new meaning, becoming a realm of invention and simulation. The collection follows Primitivo as he embarks on the arduous journey of crossing the border, where the imaginary boundary grows increasingly tangible and demanding. Meanwhile, Primitiva, his sister, leads a static life as an exploited migrant worker in la fabrica. These vivid poems shed light on the collision of technology, bureaucracy, and humanity, revealing the struggle Primitiva endures in the factory. 

With a bilingual format catering to both English and Spanish readers, "The Border Simulator" delves into physical and metaphysical borders while exploring the digital divide of our modern era. Through inventive imagery, playful wordplay, and exhilarating movement, these energetic poems challenge and redefine binaries and divisions. 

Gabriel Dozal, a talented poet from El Paso, Texas, is the mastermind behind "The Border Simulator/El Simulador de Fronteras." His work has been featured in esteemed publications such as Poetry magazine, Guernica, and The Iowa Review. José Olivarez, the son of Mexican immigrants, has also made a significant impact in the literary world. He is the author of two poetry collections, including "Promises of Gold," which has been longlisted for the 2023 National Book Awards for poetry. Olivarez's debut book of poems, "Citizen Illegal," was a finalist for the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award and received accolades from NPR, The Adroit Journal, and the New York Public Library.

Before riding the elevator to the top, there&rsquo;s an exhibition introducing Chicago. It covers architecture, famous people from the city, food, and more. At the tower&rsquo;s summit, you can take in a panoramic view of the entire city. It&rsquo;s definitely a worthwhile experience.
