Cave Canem Poets Read: Samiya Bashir, Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanon & Ronaldo V. Wilson December 6, 2009

Join three Cave Canem fellows for an evening of exceptional poetry as they debut their new collections. Samiya Bashir’s Gospel (Redbone Press, 2009) is touted by Patricia Smith as "deftly reflective and full of rafter-rattling truths"; Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanon’s Open Interval (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2009) is described by Mark Doty as taking "her work to startling new heights"; and Wayne Koestenbaum calls Ronaldo V. Wilson’s Poems of the Black Object (Futurepoem Books, 2009) a "pathbreaking movement into what has never, never, in history, been said."
