FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 7PM

A versatile and prolific artist, as well as noted “history maker,” Gordon Parks, Sr. lives up to his iconic status as photographer, composer, director and writer. For many artists—past and present, Mr. Parks serves as an inspiration, not only because of his long-standing presence in visual culture, but his influence on art.

Join us for a celebration of Mr. Parks’ vast achievements and recent publications— A Hungry Heart: A Memoir and Eyes With Winged Thoughts: Poetry & Images—along with invited prominent figures who will reflect on this legend‘s immense impact on their work.

Be sure to arrive early for this already legendary program featuring some of today’s most talented authors. Packed to capacity, Books + Authors is designed to introduce works by literary masters, established living authors and emerging writers. This program also features new titles that explore black culture locally, nationally and internationally. Sometimes it’s a performance and other times it’s a straight reading, but there’s always a discussion filled with rich, diverse perspectives.
