Elizabeth Alexander
Crave Radiance: A Poetry Reading
Tuesday, December 14th @ 5:30PM
Labyrinth Books, New Haven



Over the past twenty years, Elizabeth Alexander has become one of America's most exciting and important poets, and her selection as the inaugural poet by President Obama confirmed her place as one of the indispensable voices of our times. We invite you to come hear her read from her new collection.

Crave Radiance: New and Selected Poems 1990-2010 gathers twenty pages of new poetry, including her inaugural poem "Praise Song for the Day," along with generous selections from her previous work. The result is the most definitive volume to date by this American master.

"Alexander is an unusual thing, a sensualist of history, a romanticist of race. She weaves biography, history, experience, pop culture and dream. Her poems make the public and private dance together." -- Chicago Tribune

Elizabeth Alexander's collections of poetry include American Sublime, Antebellum Dream Book, The Venus Hottentot, and Body of Life. She teaches in the English and African American Studies Departments at Yale University.
