Smith, Paul Muldoon and Sharon Olds (coming as part of the Raymond Danowski Poetry Library Reading Series, curated by Young, on March 20). Young is teaching an advanced poetry workshop at Emory this spring, and his students are writing poems based on a busy roster of visiting writers this semester, including Pulitzer Prize-winners Tracy K. "These are poems that have been brewing for awhile," Young says. His latest collection confronts themes of birth, death and rebirth, moving between and beyond his life's milestone events. "Book of Hours" marks the 10 th anniversary of the death of Young's father, and the intervening years saw the birth of his son, now seven. This A Cappella Books event, co-sponsored by Emory's Department of English, is free and open to the public.Īward-winning poet Kevin Young says he's never really finished writing a book until he can hold it in his hand and read from it, so in coming weeks, Emory's Atticus Haygood Professor of English and Creative Writing will be crisscrossing the country, bringing to completion his newly published volume, "Book of Hours."
Monday, April 7 at the Carter Presidential Library and Museum Theater, 441 Freedom Parkway, Atlanta.
Kevin Young will give a reading of "Book of Hours" at 7 p.m.
