D.A. Powell Places Papers and Reads

Award-winning poet D.A. Powell announces he is placing his papers with the Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library (MARBL) at Emory University. In MARBL, Powell¹s papers join those of other Georgia poets and authors
such as James Dickey, Turner Cassity, Frank Manley and David Bottoms, all of whom garnered national attention with their work. Powell reads his poetry that invokes a range of subjects, from movies, music, art, and other aspects of modern culture to the AIDS epidemic. "He's funny and wry,
and very musical, both in how he writes and how he reads," says Kevin Young, curator of the Raymond Danowski Poetry Library at MARBL. "He's a
tremendous poet, very lyrical." http://marbl.library.emory.edu/news-events/raymond-danowski-poetry-library-re...
