SUMMARY:A Writer's Retrospective with Lois Lowry
DESCRIPTION:The Rufus Porter Museum is deeply honored to host a special evening with world-renowned author and museum member\, Lois Lowry. In this intimate retrospective\, Ms. Lowry will reflect on a prolific career spanning over fifty years of writing. \nThis presentation offers a rare opportunity for the local community to engage with the author of modern classics like “The Giver” and “Number the Stars.” Ms. Lowry will discuss her writing process and her dedication to empowering young readers to navigate the complexities of human nature. \nA central focus of the evening will be a look at her upcoming book\, “Building 903\,” scheduled for release in late September. Ms. Lowry will share insights into this newest endeavor\, which she anticipates will be her final published work. \nAttendees are invited to join us for a presentation that blends personal history with literary mastery\, including a presentation of images and stories from her life’s work. \nAbout the Presenter \nLois Lowry is an acclaimed American writer known for her versatility and her ability to tackle challenging subject matter for children and young adults.
