Gotta Go Gotta Flow: Life, Love, and Lust on Chicago’s South Side from the Seventies

Mesmerized by the ‘70s nightclub culture on Chicago’s South Side, Michael Abramson became a part of the scene and spent three years taking photographs in five clubs. More than 40 years later, Patricia Smith, nationally known poet and slam poetry champion, comes across Abramson’s work and is inspired by his work. Smith, who knew the clubs well, brings this collection of photographs to life with eighty poetic stories. Combining black and white photography with poetry, this book gives readers a front-row seat to the grooviest nightclubs of the 1970’s.
