DESCRIPTION:This online reading is part of Revolution Books "60 Defiant Days at 
 Revolution Books. Three remarkable poets will read:\n \nMARILYN NELSON, a 
 three-time finalist for the National Book Award, is one of America’s most 
 celebrated poets. She is the author or translator of seventeen poetry books 
 for adults and children, five chapbooks, and in 2014 she published a 
 memoir, named one of NPR’s Best Books of 2014, entitled How I Discovered 
 Poetry. Her critically acclaimed books for young adults include A Wreath 
 for Emmett Till.\n \n“Nelson’s bold and sure poems long for heaven and 
 -- happily for us -- continue a lifelong affair with the occasions of 
 earth.” —Mark Doty\n“She inhabits the voices of the overlooked and 
 disenfranchised and shines light into forgotten corners that reveal 
 essential truths about the whole.” -- Image Journal\n \nANTOINETTE 
 BRIM-BELL is the author of three collections of poetry: These Women You 
 Gave Me, Icarus in Love , and Psalm of the Sunflower. She is a Cave Canem 
 Foundation fellow, a recipient of a Walker Foundation Scholarship to the 
 Fine Arts Work Center, and a Pushcart Prize nominee. She is also a 
 professor of English, a noted printmaker and collage artist.\n 
 \n"...Brim’s poems sing of the ability women have always had to love and 
 thrive in spite of the most oppressive odds...really gorgeous work..." — 
 Jericho Brown, 2019 winner of the Pulitzer Prize in poetry\n \nLAUREN K. 
 ALLEYNE hails from Trinidad and Tobago. Her fiction, poetry and non-fiction 
 have been published widely including in The Atlantic, Crab Orchard Press 
 and Ms. Muse. She is the author of Difficult Fruit and Honeyfish (both 
 Peepal Tree Press).\n \n“Lauren Alleyne’s voice is a revelatory and 
 formidable fusion of irrepressible music and uncompromising craft. Like 
 snippets of cinema, these poems arrest the senses and challenge what’s 
 known.” — Patricia Smith, 2018 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award Winner\n 
 \nOnline events at Revolution Books in Harlem are co-sponsored by 
 Revolution Books in Berkeley. The event will air in Berkeley at 4:00 pm.\n
