Maui the Writer
Maui the Writer brings her powerful Self Care and Chill Poetry Night Experience to City Winery Chicago for one unforgettable evening of spoken word, storytelling, and connection. A five-time author, acclaimed spoken word artist, and host of the hit podcast Self Care and Chill with Maui, Maui has built a loyal following through her honest, relatable approach to love, healing, and self-discovery.
Known for selling out venues across the country, Maui creates more than a performance, she creates a space for reflection, release, and real conversation. Through raw vulnerability, humor, and heartfelt storytelling, her poetry explores the complexities of relationships, self-love, and emotional healing in a way that resonates deeply with audiences.
The evening will also feature a lineup of dynamic poets, setting the stage for Maui’s intimate headlining set filled with her signature relationship poems and real-life stories. Join us for a powerful night of live poetry, connection, and inspiration, paired with City Winery’s intimate atmosphere, wine, and dining experience. Reserve your seats now for a night designed to move you.
🍽️ We provide food and beverage service directly to your table in the venue. Or, for an expanded menu and more relaxed experience, arrive early and enjoy a meal in our restaurant before the show. When dining in the restaurant, reservations are encouraged and can be made via Resy starting one month before the show. View Our Concert Dining Menu.(opens in a new tab)
Reserve your preferred wine by filling out this form(opens in a new tab) and have a bottle waiting at your table when you arrive at your show. No more waiting for your first drink! We will save your wine preference and have a bottle at your table for all future shows. When you want to change your wine, come back to this form and update your preference.
🎶 While we do not require a two-item food or beverage minimum, we strongly encourage it. Most ticket revenue goes directly to the artist and production costs, so food and drink purchases help support the staff, service, and atmosphere that make these intimate shows possible.
The good news: we think you’ll love the food and wine just as much as the show.
