"Reading Poverty, by America, I felt like Matthew Desmond was sitting at my kitchen table, explaining the complexities of poverty in a way I could completely understand. This book is essential and instructive, hopeful and enraging. It is a road map for how we can be better people, working together to build a better country." — Ann Patchett We are very proud to welcome Pulitzer Prize-winning author and sociologist Matthew Desmond to our Ten Evenings lecture series on Monday, October 2.
