2023: Quraysh Ali Lansana

Posted on September 10, 2023 by peggylchambers

I attended a program at my local library today with Quraysh Ali Lansana Quraysh Ali Lansana – Wikipedia, poet and author of 20 books. He was born in my hometown of Enid, OK and graduated from Enid High School in 1982.

He currently resides in Tulsa. He is a poet, author, professor, historian, and filmmaker. His writing has won many awards. Amazon.com: Quraysh Ali Lansana: books, biography, latest update

The Friends of the Library provided a light breakfast followed by a reading of his latest children’s book of poetry, A Gift from Greensboro. Through a grant, he was able to give the book away and made sure there were enough for every child in the Enid school system. The message was loud and clear, love your neighbor.

Thank you for coming, Quraysh, and welcome back to Enid.

What are you reading/writing/learning this week?
