HOWARD-- Marie Cameron, whose poetry book "I Have No Name" was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, will give a talk and discussion at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 28 at St. Mark Lutheran Church, 850 Snydertown Road, Howard. The event is free and books will be available for purchase and signing.
"I Have No Name" was a compilation of Holocaust stories survivors told Cameron, who survived the Holocaust herself having lived in Nazi Germany. Her latest book, "I Have No Name -- Threads -- L'Chaim (To Life)," is "the final comprehensive collection of her poetry," and in it "she explores being an observer in this rapidly changing world."
Cameron, who now lives in State College, says she will request those attending the event to choose particular decades, and she will read poetry from that period.
