Philly Writer, Lecturer to Speak at La Salle
Philadelphia writer, Lorene Cary, will be reading from her work on Thursday, April 14, at 12:30, in the Renaissance Room of the Art Museum (Olney Hall). She is the author of two novels--Pride (1998) and The Price of A Child (1995)--and a memoir, Black Ice (1991). The Price of A Child was the One Book, One Philadelphia selection for 2003.

In 1998, she founded "Art Sanctuary," a non-profit lecture and performance series that brings black thinkers and artists to speak and perform at the Church of the Advocate, a National Historic Landmark Building in North Philadelphia. Currently, she is a senior lecture in Creative Writing at the University of Pennsylvania.

The event is sponsored by The Grimoire.
