Natasha Trethewey is the author of three collections of poetry, including Native Guard, which won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize, Bellocq's Ophelia, and Domestic Work, which won the inaugural Cave Canem Poetry Prize. A native of Mississippi, a member of the Dark Room Collective, and the Phillis Wheatley Distinguished Chair in Poetry at Emory University, Trethewey's work often shifts from the personal to the historical, confronting subjects that include the legacies of racism in America and her own experiences as a person of mixed race growing up in the deep South. In this recording from the 2010 Key West Literary Seminar, Trethewey reads a selection of poems including "Limen," "Genus Narcissus," "Myth," "Miscegenation," "Taxonomy," and "Knowledge: After a Chalk Drawing by J.H. Hasselhorst, 1864."
