Join us for our 25th Annual 12th Night Revel!
Kevin Young returns to Emory as our distinguished guest poet for the 25th Annual 12th Night Revel. Emory Libraries and Chief Reveler Dr. Rosemary Magee (Rose Library director emeritus) invite you to this spectacular event, benefiting the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library.
The 12th Night Revel takes place Friday, March 21, 2025, at 6 p.m. in the Emory Conference Center Hotel’s Lullwater Ballroom. Join us for a night of celebration, inspiration and literary magic!
The festivities continue Saturday, March 22, 2025, at 1 p.m. with the annual Danowski Poetry Reading at Glenn Memorial Church, where Young will share more of his evocative works.
An acclaimed poet and author, Young has penned numerous works, including Stones (2021), a finalist for the T.S. Eliot Prize; Brown (2018); Blue Laws: Selected & Uncollected Poems 1995–2015; and Book of Hours (2014), winner of the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize. He also serves as poetry editor of The New Yorker.
We are incredibly proud to welcome Kevin Young back to Emory, where he previously served as the Atticus Haygood Professor of English and Creative Writing and curator of the Raymond Danowski Poetry Library in the Rose Library. His contributions to Emory and the literary world continue to inspire us.
Please help us to support this important event.
