Join Folger Poetry in honoring the legacy of former Folger Shakespeare Library Director O.B. Hardison, Jr. with acclaimed poet Cornelius Eady (Pulitzer Prize–nominated The Gathering of My Name; National Book Award finalist for Brutal Imagination). He is a recipient of the 2023 Pegasus Award for Service in Poetry and co-founder of Cave Canem, a non-profit literary organization committed to cultivating the artistic and professional growth of Black poets. Eady’s poetry centers the everyday experiences of Black Americans through his signature jazz and blues-inflected verse.
