Alison C. Rollins will read and perform from her groundbreaking collection Black Bell (Copper Canyon Press, 2024). Inspired by the nineteenth-century image of an enslaved woman wearing iron horns and bells, these poems explore the intersections between individual experience and collective memory. Rollins was named a 2023-2024 Harvard Radcliffe Institute Fellow and a National Endowment for the Arts Literature Fellow in 2019. She is an assistant professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
This event is free and open to the public.
