Kevin Young

The Washington Post profiled Kevin Young to discuss his new collection of poetry, For the Confederate Dead. Crazy enough, what I found most interesting is that he's married to Kate Tuttle, a former editor at Africana.com. I just remember that Kate was very nice to me a few years ago when I was living in Boston and emailed her blindly about something (maybe trying to get a job, or freelance work, or networking, can't remember). I heard she was spearheading some African American database project.

Anywho, back to Kevin. The new collection sounds engaging and a little intense. Adding it to the list.
