Born in 1970, Kevin Young is widely regarded as one of the leading poets of his generation, one who finds meaning and inspiration in African American music, particularly the blues, and in the bittersweet history of Black America. His newest book is Dear Darkness (Knopf, 2008). His earlier collection, Black Maria: Poems Produced and Directed by Kevin Young is a “film noir in verse,” a playful homage to the language and imagery of Hollywood detective films. He currently is a professor of poetry at Emory University.
All readings are free and followed by a reception and book signing.
