SUMMARY:Poetry off the Shelf<br /> Dark Room Collective: Thomas Sayers Ellis, Natasha Trethewey, Kevin Young, Major Jackson, John Keene, Sharan Strange and Nehessaiu deGannes
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Sayers Ellis and Sharan Strange attended the funeral of James Baldwin and left regretting that they had never met the celebrated author. In an effort to connect writers, the two Harvard undergraduates founded the Dark Room Collective in 1987. The Collective began as a forum for young African-American writers and later hosted a celebrated reading series that paired established authors with emerging voices. Collective alumni Natasha Trethewey, Kevin Young, Major Jackson, John Keene, and Nehassaiu deGannes join the founders for a reunion reading.
