About Our Speakers
Rashod Taylor attended Murray State University and earned a bachelor’s degree in art with a specialization in Fine Art Photography in 2007. Taylor favors traditional and lost format practices of photography—silver prints and wet plate process among them. His work uses portraiture to address themes of family, race, culture, and legacy. His photographs are a window into the Black American experience. Taylor’s most well-recognized work is an ongoing project Little Black Boy. The series earned him an Arnold Newman Prize For New Directions in Photographic Portraiture in 2021. His work has exhibited nationally and is actively collected by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
Kimiko Hahn casts a wide net for subject matter. In her latest collection Foreign Bodies, she revisits the personal as political while exploring the immigrant body, the endangered animal’s body, objects removed from children’s bodies, hoarded things, and charms. The Ghost Forest: new and selected poems is forthcoming. She is currently co-editing an anthology of zuihitsu. Hahn is the 2023 recipient of the Ruth Lilly Prize for Lifetime Achievement from The Poetry Foundation. She teaches in the MFA Program for Creative Writing and Literary Translation at Queens College, City University of New York.
Dante Micheaux is the author of Circus (Indolent Books, 2018), which won the Four Quartets Prize from the Poetry Society of America and the T. S. Eliot Foundation, and Amorous Shepherd (Sheep Meadow Press, 2010). His poems and translations have appeared in African American Review, The American Poetry Review, Callaloo, Literary Imagination, Poem–A–Day, Poetry, Poetry London, PN Review, and Tongue, among other journals and anthologies. Micheaux’s other honors include the Ambit Magazine Poetry Prize, and fellowships from The New York Times Foundation and Cave Canem, where he is Director of Programs.
