Humanities Building, Room 206

Harryette Mullen’s poetry is filled with wordplay and allusion as well as being centered in the wider tradition of African American literature. Recyclopedia, which collects three of her earlier volumes, received a PEN Beyond Margins Award in 2006. She is also a recent winner of the Jackson Prize from Poets & Writers and has been nominated for a National Book Award.

This reading is being given in conjunction with two other readings in New York the same week, one at Poets House and one at Cave Canem. The Poets-House reading is part of a celebration of the publication of Looking Up Harryette Mullen: Interviews on Sleeping With the Dictionary and Other Works by Barbara Henning (Professor Emerita in the LIU Brooklyn English Department). For more information about the other two readings, click here and scroll down to April 29 and 30.
