Literary Diva Presents: Literary Journey! Dr. Pinkie Gordon Lane! Prt 5

Join us as we continue on our literary journey with the one and only Pinkie Gordon Lane. A poet and writer true to form with substance. For decades Pinkie Gordan Lane has represented one of the quieter strains of black poetry. With true determination she became the first black woman to receive a doctorate from LSU in 1956. She was also the first poet laureate of LA. Pinkie's work speaks for itself with unarresting images, but also with reassuring visions of nature, sometimes deceptively simple. With her lyrical, soaring and poetic gift her style has become a style all it's own. Mark your calenders as we continue on our literary journey with Pinkie Gordan Lane.
