As Laz mentioned today, Lucille Clifton is coming to the Free Library of Philadelphia. She'll be there this Thursday, May 1st at 8 pm. Tickets can be bought online at http://libwww.freelibrary.org/calendar/calbydate.cfm?ID=18107&type=2. I know Laz had said it was free for students, but it appears to be $7 for students (discounted from the general admission price of $14). There is still auditorium seating left, so that's good. A little blurb about Lucille Clifton, courtesy of the FLP website (since I had never heard of her before I assume others hadn't either):
"Lucille Clifton is the author of 12 poetry collections, including the National Book Award-winning Blessing the Boats: New and Selected Poems 1988–2000, as well as several children’s books and a memoir. The 2007 recipient of the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize—one of the most prestigious literary awards for American poets—Clifton is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and has served as a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets."
I'm free on Thursday night...anyone else able to go?

...but Kelsie...FLP? Free Library Public? You probably shouldn't post at 2:30 in the morning anymore.
Just kidding! :)
Ahem. It's the Free Library of Philadelphia. Apparently you shouldn't post at 6:30 in the evening.
Ouch! Just kidding. :)
