Library Hosts Celebrated Author
You’re invited to an evening
with poet, educator and bestsell-
ing author Kwame Alexander who
will appear Friday, April 20 at the
Alberta Rose Theatre in northeast
Portland for a free event spon-
sored by the Multnomah County
Library.
Alexander’s works have en-
gaged a new generation of read-
ers. His basketball-themed nov-
el-in-verse, The Crossover, won
the 2015 Newbery Medal for the
year’s most distinguished con-
tribution to literature for young
people. His latest work, Rebound
(also a novel-in-verse and a pre-
quel to The Crossover), explores
the youth of Chuck Bell and his
discovery of basketball and jazz
over the course of one fateful
summer.
Kwame Alexander’s visit to the
Alberta Rose Theater, 3000 N.E.
Alberta St., begins at 6:30 p.m. A
book signing precedes it at 6 p.m.
