Esteemed American writer and former U.S. Poet Laureate Rita Dove (pictured) will read at the Menil Collection as part of the opening of the Houston Museum of African American Culture. She is the author of a dozen volumes of verse; her awards and honors include the 1987 Pulitzer Prize and Poet Laureate of the Commonwealth of Virginia (2004–2006).
