"Willie Moser and Barry Moser to Speak at FOL Special Lecture"


Southern author Willie Morris and award-winning illustrator 
Barry Moser, on a national tour for their book _A Prayer for the 
Opening of Little League Season_, will speak at a special 
lecture co-hosted by the Friends of the Library of North 
Carolina State University and Quail Ridge Bookstore at 3:00 
P.M. on April 27, 1995.  The lecture will be followed by an 
informal reception and autographing session.

The lecture is free and open to the general public.  It will be 
held in the Faculty Senate Chambers on the second floor of the 
Erdahl-Cloyd Wing of the D. H. Hill Library.

_A Prayer for the Opening of Little League Season_ is Morris's 
poetic tribute to children's baseball.  First read by Morris at 
the opening Little League game in Jackson, Mississippi, on 
April 17, 1993, his poem/prayer is now accompanied by Barry 
Moser's paintings.  Works by Morris include the autobiographies 
_New York Days_ and _North Toward Home_, the novel _The 
Last of the Southern Girls_, and his memoir for children _Good 
Old Boy: A Delta Boyhood.

Barry Moser has illustrated such notable works as Dante's 
_Divine Comedy_, Herman Melville's _Moby Dick_, and _Alice's 
Adventures in Wonderland_ by Lewis Carroll.  He is the founder 
of the Hampshire Typothetae and proprietor of the Pennyroyal 
Press.
