Poet David Mills to Read on Campus

Please come hear poet David Mills read from his work next week, part of the Fall 2021 Cardin Reading Series! 

David Mills' newest book, Boneyarn, is about New York’s African Burial Ground—America’s oldest and largest slave cemetery.  Mills explores the lives of (and gives voice to) many of the people buried there.

The reading will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 13, at 1 p.m.

It will be held in Mali 2 / Dana 202!  (This is a change from an earlier announcement.)

This will be an in-person event.  

David Mills books include: Boneyarn, The Sudden Country, The Dream Detective, and After Mistic. His poems have appeared in Ploughshares, Colorado Review, Crab Orchard Review, Callaloo, and Fence, among other venues. He has received fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, Breadloaf, The American Antiquarian Society, and the Lannan Foundation, as well as a Henry James and Hughes/Diop fellowship. He has recorded his poetry for ESPN and RCA Records and lived in Langston Hughes’ landmark Harlem home.

The reading will be followed by a Q&A.
