Dear friends and colleagues:

Come celebrate National Poetry Month with a very special Yale Graduate Poets Reading: on Monday, April 9, at 6:30pm in Linsly-Chittenden Hall, Room 211 we will be joined by the witty and wonderful poet David Trinidad. The evening’s graduate poet opening act will be Mia Kang, PhD student in the History of Art. Known for his engaging transfiguration of pop culture and playful experimentation with form, David has three recently published books: Notes on a Past Life (2016), Descent of the Dolls: Part 1 (2016, with Jeffery Conway and Gillian McCain) and Swinging on a Star (2017). Co-sponsored by the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library.

David Trinidad’s latest book of poems is Swinging on a Star, published by Turtle Point Press in 2017. His other books include Dear Prudence: New and Selected Poems (2011) and Peyton Place: A Haiku Soap Opera (2013), both published by Turtle Point, and Notes on a Past Life, published by BlazeVOX [books] in 2016. He is also the editor of A Fast Life: The Collected Poems of Tim Dlugos (Nightboat Books, 2011). Trinidad lives in Chicago, where he is a Professor of Creative Writing/Poetry at Columbia College.

Mia Kang is an Oregon-born, Texas-raised writer, named the 2017 winner of Boston Review’s Annual Poetry Contest by Mónica de la Torre. Her poetry has appeared or is forthcoming in journals including Rattle Poets Respond, Narrative Magazine, Sugar House Review, and the PEN Poetry Series. A Brooklyn Poets Fellow and runner-up for the 2017 Discovery/Boston Review Poetry Contest, she is a recipient of the Academy of American Poets’ 2016 Catalina Páez and Seumas MacManus Award, among others. Mia is a PhD student in the history of art at Yale University, where she studies contemporary art, constitutive outsides, and impasse.

We’ll have copies of Swinging on a Star available for purchase at the reading.
