February 19, 2014 (CHICAGO) --
James Franco is a man of many talents, including actor and director. And as his Chicago fans heard Wednesday night, he's also a poet. He read from his upcoming collection titled "Directing Herbert White."
Those who know his movies may remember that Franco directed a film called "Herbert White", based on a poem by the same name.
The author joined Franco for an evening of poetry and film hosted by the Poetry Foundation and the Chicago Humanities Festival.
