Kevin Young and Gabrielle Hamilton (NYC)

Event text via poets.org: “This fall, The New York Public Library and the Academy of American Poets will present a free series of four conversations exploring how different art forms engage with poetry. These conversations will pair some of today’s most intriguing poets with accomplished artists, dancers, chefs, and actors. The monthly series includes events with Claudia Rankine and artist Carrie Mae Weems; Mark Doty and choreographer Bill T. Jones; Kevin Young and chef Gabrielle Hamilton; and Sharon Olds and actress Cynthia Nixon. Support for this series has been provided by the New York Council for the Humanities.”
