“I left like a season’s first lover across a window, // slowly like a southern sun / diagonal on a work-back.” Tyree Daye reads “The Mechanical Cotton Picker,” which appears in his poetry collection Cardinal (Copper Canyon Press, 2020), in this Academy of American Poets video.

“Cardinal is conjuring the question: Where can Black people go to be safe?” Tyree Daye introduces his second poetry collection, Cardinal (Copper Canyon Press, 2020), and reads “Miss Mary Mack Introduces Her Wings” and other poems. Cardinal is featured in Page One in the November/December issue of Poets & Writers Magazine.

“The road I’m walking on now is howling and full of moon, / hopefully it’ll lead to myself, / hopefully they’ll take me home.” In this installment of Poets House Presents, Tyree Daye reads a selection of poems from his second poetry collection, Cardinal (Copper Canyon Press, 2020), which is featured in Page One in the November/December issue of Poets & Writers Magazine.
