SUMMARY:Unhired Hands
DESCRIPTION:Van Cortlandt Park Alliance and Van Cortlandt House Museum presents a poetry reading by poet and Bronx byproduct David Mills.\n\nMills will read from Unhired Hands\, his new poetry collection about slavery in Queens and Massachusetts.  The reading will be held the downstairs educational space inside the Van Cortlandt House Museum (only accessible via stairs). \nSpace is limited so advance registration is required. \nRSVP Now. \nThis reading is a part of Van Cortlandt Park Alliance’s Reimagining initiative. In partnership with the Design Trust for Public Space and Immanuel Oni\, Liminal Sp\, VCPA invites the community to reimagine the park’s Enslaved African Burial Ground site as a memorial space that fosters long-term healing and restoration. This project is supported by the Mellon Foundation. \nThis event is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. \nAbout Unhired Hands:  You never quite know where to place Mills’ work in the poetic landscape. This is a good thing given the clusters of poets bunched around the same subjects and approaches. In Unhired Hands\, where he explores slavery in Queens and Massachusetts\, he’s formal while wild in style; he’s both historical/recognizable and strange/innovative. Like Ralph Waldo Emerson tuning in from the outer boroughs; like Phillis Wheatley riding Funkadelic’s mothership. He possesses an archival acumen akin to Natasha Trethewey; a cultural vernacular rich as that of August Wilson; the intellectual quirks of Pharaoh Sanders and Sun Ra. Unhired Hands highlights his expressive documentarian impulses while adding to his clear technical mastery. He reconstructs / conjures Queens (through the lives of enslaved individuals Victoria Earle Matthews\, Millie Tunnell\, and Martha Peterson)\, and Massachusetts (with an homage to Phillis Wheatley). His research is exacting\, but open; the poems are formal but never formulaic. The image of Matthews sneaking books between chores\, her eyes “learning to swim\, learning to sink into literature’s at turns clear and sometimes troubling waters” is a kind of statement of poetics and a lyrical reconstruction of history. Mills writes beyond “the jurisdiction of flinch\,” into the intimacy of interrogation:  its also an “interrogation of intimacy.” This collection is akin to a history book scored by form and spirit\, ingenuity and telepathic empathy…\nTerrance Hayes\, National Book Award and MacArthur-Genius-Award winning author of Lighthead. \nAbout David Mills: David Mills is currently a New York Public Library Cullman Fellow finishing a poetry collection about slavery in the Bronx. He holds an M.F.A. from Warren Wilson College and an M.A. from New York University in creative writing. He’s published five collections: Unhired Hands\, Boneyarn (Manhattan slavery poems)\, After Mistic\, The Sudden Country and The Dream Detective. His poems have appeared in Ploughshares\, Colorado Review\, Fence\, Crab Orchard Review\, Jubilat\, Callaloo\, Brooklyn Rail\, and Obsidian. He has received a 2026 NYSCA grant to write a poetry collection about Brooklyn slavery.

SUMMARY:Black History Month: Enslaved African Legacy Tour
DESCRIPTION:A guided walk that will enlighten participants on the true history that shaped Van Cortlandt Park.\n\n\n\nJoin VCPA’s Arts Integration Strategist\, Ashley Hart Adams\, on a guided walk that will enlighten participants on the true history that shaped Van Cortlandt Park. \nFor approximately 200 years\, the Van Cortlandt family plantation relied upon the labor of enslaved people\, as did many plantations and farms in the north. Enslaved Africans\, their descendants\, and Indigenous people were vital to colonial New York’s economy\, growing\, harvesting\, milling\, packing\, and shipping the wheat that would be a staple export out of New York harbor. This tour will stop at several sites within the park that are daily reminders of their labor and lasting legacy. \nThis walk will include uneven surfaces so please wear hiking shoes. Bring water and a snack. \nThe walk will be approximately 90 minutes long with stops throughout to talk. \nRSVP Now. \nBlack History Month events are part of Van Cortlandt Park Alliance’s Reimagining initiative. In partnership with the Design Trust for Public Space and Immanuel Oni\, Liminal Sp\, VCPA invites the community to reimagine the park’s Enslaved African Burial Ground site as a memorial space that fosters long-term healing and restoration. This project is supported by the Mellon Foundation. \nThis project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program\, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

SUMMARY:REIMAGINING: Rewriting the Will: A Workshop with David Mills
DESCRIPTION:Van Cortlandt Park Alliance presents a writing workshop led by poet and Bronx byproduct David Mills. Drawing inspiration from a historic Van Cortlandt family will\, participants will engage in a powerful exercise: imagining and crafting their own “new will” from the perspective of an individual enslaved on the Van Cortlandt plantation. \nTogether\, participants will reflect on questions of legacy and power\, naming both material and immaterial possessions\, from tools and objects to emotions\, dreams\, and memories. This act of imaginative resistance reclaims voice and agency\, transforming historical silence into testament. \nPlease bring your favorite pen/pencil and notebook with you! \nSpace is limited.  RSVP Required. \nThe workshop will be held in the Van Cortlandt House Museum in a space that is only accessible by stairs. \nAbout David Mills: David Mills holds an M.F.A. from Warren Wilson College and an M.A. from New York University in creative writing. He’s published four collections: Boneyarn (New York slavery poems)\, After Mistic (Massachusetts slavery poems)\, The Sudden Country and The Dream Detective. His poems have appeared in Ploughshares\, Colorado Review\, Fence\, Crab Orchard Review\, Jubilat\, Callaloo\, Brooklyn Rail\, and Obsidian. \nREIMAGINING: Rewriting the Will is part of Van Cortlandt Park Alliance’s Reimagining initiative. In partnership with the Design Trust for Public Space and Immanuel Oni\, Liminal Sp\, VCPA invites the community to reimagine the park’s Enslaved African Burial Ground site as a memorial space that fosters long-term healing and restoration. This project is supported by the Mellon Foundation.
