Dawn Lundy Martin

Dawn Lundy Martin is author of three books of poetry, and three chapbooks. Of her latest collection, Life in a Box is a Pretty Life (Nightboat Books 2015), Fred Moten says, “Imagine Holiday singing a Blind alley, or Brooks pricing hardpack dandelion, and then we’re seized and thrown into the festival of detonation we hope we’ve been waiting for.” Associate Professor at the University of Pittsburgh, Martin is a member of the three-person performance group, The Black Took Collective. She is currently working on a hybrid memoir.
