TONIGHT: Lucille Clifton Memorial Reading, Pratt Central Library, 6:30 PM

Lucille Clifton by Dette Tilman 2010, The Dartmouth

Tonight, the Enoch Pratt Central Library (Wheeler Auditorium (3rd Floor), 400 Cathedral Street, Baltimore MD) will host A Tribute to Lucille Clifton (1936-2010) beginning at 6:30 p.m.

The amazing Lucile Clifton served as Poet Laureate for the State of Maryland, was Distinguished Professor of Humantities at St. Mary's College of Maryland, and received the National Book Award in 2000 for her poetry collection, Blessing the Boats.

All who attend the memorial are invited to bring a favorite Lucille Clifton poem to read as part of the Tribute (and I promise to also have some copies of Lucille's instructive and moving poems on hand for any one who doesn't have or forgets to bring one).

More information can be found at http://www.prattlibrary.org/calendar/atpratt.aspx?id=51090

And I sincerely hope you'll pass this along to all (& any) you think might be interested.

Warmly,

Rosemary Klein
