Shannon Cain - delivers a super dynamite lecture at the Main Carnegie Library - Oakland - Pittsburgh, Pa 15213 - branch!

         On Thurs. Oct 6 - 2011 - Ms Shannon Cain delivered a vibrant session/lecture - which she illustrated with some sunny slides of her native town of Tucson, Arizona.  Ms Cain's commentary had a lot of humor in it - skillfully blended into her lively speech - which sparkled with some humorous, honest observations re: the impulsive but fun actions - which are costly to us, humans - in terms of being criticized and ridiculed. 
      Her lecture at the main library branch of Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh - University of Pittsburgh's (Pitt's) Oakland campus - was introduced by - way - too many Library and University of Pittsburgh' officials and faculty.  The Main Library deputy director's introduction would be quite sufficient. 

      The University of Pittsburgh's Poetry Department' faculty rep's intro could easily be skipped - thus giving a bit more time to Ms. Cain - whose public speaking skills are considerable - as well as her ability to engage the public.
     Over all - it was an excellent event - nothing was forced or boring about it.  The public attending Ms. Cain's presentation  learned a lot about the city of Tucson's city council and about Ms. Cain's future literary projects.
