Harryette Mullen: New Author Page (original) (raw)

Today we are proud to unveil a new author page for the one and only Harryette Mullen. Speaking personally, I've spent the last fifteen years at PennSound wanting to make this page a reality and I am ecstatic that the day has finally arrived.

Our Harryette Mullen author page archives more than thirty years of recordings, starting with a 1991 Segue Series reading at the Ear Inn, one of five total Segue Series events in the collection. There are also readings, panel discussions, and talks from the St. Mark's Poetry Project, Cornell University, Woodland Pattern Book Center, SUNY-Buffalo, UT Austin, Poets House NYC, the Belladonna* Reading Series, and our own Kelly Writers House, as well as the radio program Cross Cultural Poetics. All of Mullen's foundational books are well represented here, with copious readings from Sleeping With the Dictionary, as well as the three influential early books collected in one volume in Recylopedia — Trimmings, S*PeRM**K*T, and Muse and Drudge — though sadly material from her last full-length collection, the tanka diary Urban Tumbleweed, is not present. We've also compiled a small appendix of recordings related to Mullen from within the PennSound archives, including events at which she was present and short sessions of other poets teaching her work.
