Event
An Afternoon of Poetry with Kevin Young
Presented in partnership with the Amy Clampitt Fund
Widely regarded as a leading poet of his generation, Kevin Young will present a special reading of his works. His writings are centered around African-American music and culture; he is influenced by the blues, and its forms often provide the structure for his poems. His collection For the Confederate Dead (2007) was awarded the Paterson Poetry Prize for Sustained Literary Achievement and the Quill Award in Poetry. His collection Jelly Roll: A Blues (2004) was also a Paterson Poetry Prize Winner. Young received an MFA from Brown University in 1996 and is currently the Atticus Haygood Professor of Creative Writing and English at Emory University.
A book signing and reception will follow the reading, which begins at 4 pm.
