Program Description
Event Details
National Book Award for Young People’s Literature winner Elizabeth Acevedo is the guest author for the 2024 Bauder Lecture. Acevedo is The New York Times bestselling author of The Poet X, which also won the Michael L. Printz Award, the Pura Belpré Award, the Carnegie medal, the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award, and the Walter Award.
Clap When You Land, a novel-in-verse, brims with grief and love, as Acevedo writes about the devastation of loss, the difficulty of forgiveness, and the bittersweet bonds that shape our lives. It was selected as the Howard County Book Connection title, in partnership with Howard Community College, Howard County Poetry and Literature Society, and Howard County Library System.
The Bauder Lecture by Howard Community College is made possible by a generous grant from Dr. Lillian Bauder, a community leader and Columbia resident.
This event takes place at the Monteaboro Recital Hall at Howard Community College. Ample free on-site parking is available.
