SUMMARY:David Mills: Boneyarn: Poems About the History of Slavery in NYC
DESCRIPTION:Poet\, performer\, and educator David Mills will read from and reflect upon the research behind his recent collection\, Boneyarn\, the first-ever book of poems about slavery in New York City. He will answer questions moderated by Dr. Amy Lemmon and Dr. Kathrine Varnes\, both of the English and Communication Studies Department. \nThe city holds the oldest and largest slave cemetery in the United States—the African Burial Ground—which was open from 1712 to 1795 and is located in Wall Street’s shadows. Fifteen thousand enslaved and free Blacks\, some Native Americans\, and poor whites are buried there. Mills creatively “excavates” the tragedies and triumphs of New York’s enslaved and free Black community. He writes about those who toiled as cooks\, childhood chimney sweeps\, sailed the Atlantic\, fought in the Revolutionary War\, maintained African traditions when burying the dead\, built the “wall” where Wall Street gets its name\, and regrettably were dehumanized in life and sometimes desecrated in death. \nThe collection also includes a suite of poems dedicated to Jupiter Hammon; born into slavery on Long Island\, New York\, Hammon was the first Black poet published in North America. \nThis event will provide a sense of how research and creativity can move us toward a sense of healing from collective trauma. \nThe book will be available at Barnes & Noble at FIT Bookstore for purchase. \n \n\nATTENDEE Information\nJoin link:\nhttps://fitnyc.webex.com/fitnyc/j.php?MTID=ma98483502389675c3ff6482a73b22123Webinar number:\n2633 559 0838 \nWebinar password:\nBHktU3SrC53 (24588377 from phones) \nJoin by phone\n+1-646-992-2010 United States Toll (New York City) \nAccess code: 263 355 90838 \n\nDavid Mills \nDavid Mills holds an MFA from Warren Wilson College and is author of published four collections of poetry: The Dream Detective\, The Sudden Country\, After Mistic (Massachusetts slavery poems) and the bestselling Boneyarn.
