The Power of Poetry & Photography: A look at Poet Langston Hughes & Photographer Gordon Parks
Our speaker is author, Michael Steiner.
His topic, Two Powerhouses in Chicago’s Black Renaissance is a fascinating look at the groundbreaking poetry of Langston Hughes and the equally powerful photography of Gordon Parks. We’ll look at both of their contributions to the Black Renaissance of the 1930’s and 40’s and their renewed relevance today.
After teaching American Studies for forty years at California State University, Michael Steiner has moved to Easton along with his longtime partner, Lucy, to live near their children and grandchildren.
He has been a Fullbright Scholar in Hungry and Poland and has published five books and more than thirty articles on subjects ranging from Walt Disney’s vision of the mythic West to novelist Richard Wright’s love- hate relationship with Chicago.

Book Club
We Were the Lucky Ones
by Georgia Hunter
This story was inspired by the author’s family’s struggle to survive WW II and the Holocaust. This work of historical fiction starts in Poland where the horrors overtaking Europe forces the Kurcs family to disperse to far corners of the earth, each member navigating their own path of survival. It’s a riveting novel that demonstrates the strength of the human spirit during the most unspeakable atrocities of the twentieth century. We Were the Lucky Ones was recently released as a miniseries on Hulu.
Last month we welcomed two new Booked readers, both first-time book club members. Why not discover if Booked is for you?
Also, please consider supporting independent book shops, such as Book & Puppet Co. in Easton.
