Every year since 1987, the Review has honored a distinguished poet in the maturity of their career with the Aiken Taylor Award in Modern American Poetry. At this year’s ceremony, Jericho Brown will receive the award and give a reading from his body of work. The following day, critic and scholar Meta DuEwa Jones will lecture on Brown’s poetry. Both events will have catered receptions.
Brown’s collection, The Tradition, was the winner of the 2020 Pulitzer Prize and a finalist for the National Book Award. University Vice-Chancellor Dr. Robert Pearigen and Review editor Adam Ross will present Brown with the Aiken Taylor Award this November 11th at 4:30 pm in Convocation Hall.
Meta DuEwa Jones will then lecture on Brown’s poetry on November 12th at 4:30 pm in McGriff Alumni House. More information can be found here.
