A UCLA-led study has found that 6.6 million years ago, a river flowed into a large depression in northeastern Arizona and formed a wide and shallow lake east of where the Grand Canyon later took shape. The lake water built up over time and eventually spilled over a low point on the lakeshore starting around 5.6 million years ago, sending it coursing through the region that became the Grand Canyon.

As National Poetry Month comes to a close, it’s fitting to spend time with the work of Harryette Mullen, one of UCLA’s most celebrated poets, whose writing invites readers to slow down and look again. Mullen’s work reveals a practice shaped by attention to language, the natural world and the subtle textures of everyday life. Moving between wit and reflection, her poems draw on everything from plant life to the disorientation of the pandemic and offer a way of seeing that is both grounded and expansive. That perspective comes into focus this weekend on April 26, when she joins artist Kara Walker for a conversation on language, image and Black feminist poetics. It’s an opportunity to encounter her work not just on the page, but in dialogue — an invitation to carry the spirit of Poetry Month forward, one line at a time. You can also listen to the author read one of her poems in this UCLA Magazine feature story.
