Jake Adam York – Murder Ballads – Author Talk and Book Signing
Sunday, February 18, 2 - 3 p.m.
Central Library, Level 5 Gates Conference Room

Jake Adam York's first book of poems, Murder Ballads, opened a long project, the creation of a poetic memorial for the martyrs of America's Civil Rights Movement, a project York has continued in his newly completed sequel, A Murmuration of Starlings. Join York for a reading of poems from the memorial sequence. A question-and-answer session will follow, for those interested in discussing the memorial poems or the contexts of American and Southern literature out of which these poems emerge. Book signing to follow.
