SUMMARY:Author Event: Alora Young
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with Alora Young\, author of Walking Gentry Home\, a memoir in verse. Young is a poet\, a songwriter\, a playwright\, and a Presidential Scholar. She was the 2020-2021 Youth Poet Laureate of Nashville and the Southern United States. She signed her first book deal\, Walking Gentry Home\, with Hogarth\, a division of Penguin Random House\, when she was18 years old. Young has created works for the United Nations and has performed at the Kennedy Center. Her poetry has appeared in The New York Times and The Washington Post\, and she has performed her poetry on CNN\, CBS\, and the TEDx stage. \nFrom the publisher: Walking Gentry Home tells the story of Alora Young’s ancestors\, from the unnamed women forgotten by the historical record but brought to life through Young’s imagination. Each poem is a story in verse\, and together they form a heart-wrenching and inspiring family saga of girls and women connected through blood and history.
