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's and University of Pittsburgh's - 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.
     Overall - 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.
