Poet and Scholar Dr. Joshua Bennett reads from his debut full-length collection of poems, The Sobbing School available now for pre-order. Joshua Bennett, Class of 2010, studied English and Africana Studies during his time at Penn. He went on to travel the country doing poetry before receiving his doctorate from Princeton. The Sobbing School, Joshua Bennett’s mesmerizing debut collection of poetry, presents songs for the living and the dead that destabilize and de-familiarize representations of black history and contemporary black experience.

A book signing reception will follow the reading.
