The Kentucky Reading
Association Bluegrass Council invites you to come spend time with
Kentucky
author, George Ella Lyon,
Tues. Nov.
7, 4:30- 6 p.m.
at the
Lexington Herald-Leader,
100 Midland
Ave. The corner of Midland and Main.
“Where I’m From”- Ms. Lyon will discuss her famous poem and share some
examples of the “Where I’m From poems” that she’s received from all over
the world. One particularly compelling story is about an Irish nun who
shared “Where I’m From” with members in a refugee camp in Sudan. The
homeless refugees created their own poems about where they were from,
which is even more poignant because of their situation.
Books will be offered for sale. These make great holiday presents. You
don't have to be a current KRA or Bluegrass Council member to attend.
Mark
your calendar and please RSVP so we have enough refreshments.
