Rain Taxi is presenting a special Free Verse event being held in conjunction with the exhibition Kara Walker: My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love, currently on view at the Walker Art Center. Poet Kevin Young, a contributor to the exhibition catalogue, will read from his work and discuss the use of language and writing in Walker’s art. Young is the author of several acclaimed collections of poetry, most recently For the Confederate Dead, and has edited the Library of America's John Berryman: Selected Poems as well as the anthologies Blues Poems, Jazz Poems, and Giant Steps: The New Generation of African American Writers.

Free Verse is co-sponsored by the Walker Art Center.
