 Clint Smith is a doctoral candidate at Harvard University and an Emerson Fellow at New America. His writing has been published in the *New Yorker*, the *New York Times Magazine*, the *Atlantic*, *Poetry Magazine*, the *Paris Review*, and elsewhere. His first full-length collection of poetry, *Counting Descent*, published in 2016, won the 2017 Literary Award for Best Poetry Book from the Black Caucus of the American Library Association and was a finalist for the NAACP Image Award. His debut nonfiction book, *How the Word Is Passed*, which explores how different historical sites reckon with—or fail to reckon with—their relationship to the history of slavery, is forthcoming from Little, Brown.

 The reading will be followed by a Q&A session with Amanda Gorman, 2017 National Youth Poet Laureate.
