#TXSTEnglish welcomes visiting writer, Cassandra Lane, presented by the Katherine Anne Porter Literary Center.
Cassandra Lane’s memoir We Are Bridges, which won the Louise Merriwether First Book Prize, was praised as “a stunning contribution to what must become our collective memory” (NPR). Shuttling between the twentieth-century South and contemporary Los Angles, it traces the effects of racial violence on three generations of one family. Cassandra Lane lives in Los Angeles, and her nonfiction has appeared in the New York Times, The Millions, Literary Hub, and elsewhere.
