David Mills author of the best selling poetry collection, Boneyarn, will be available to our community to read/talk from this highly praised collection about slavery in New York City. A finalist for the Crab Orchard Review and Richard Snyder Memorial Prize, Mill's in his fifth book of poems gives ode to, and explores, slavery in New York City, where the oldest and largest slave cemetery in the U.S. is located. 

"In its wide range of styles and voices, in its empathy and outrage, Boneyarn is a profoundly American work, one that enlightens and chastens, laments and affirms, or that finds in lamentation a complicated form of affirmation. A marvelous achievement".  Alan Shapiro author of Against Translation.
