Anne Spencer Garden Lynchburg, Virginia
May 24 2003
The photos in this set were taken on May 24, 2003 at
the historic house and garden of poet Anne Spencer in Lynchburg, Virginia. A
sign in front of the house reads: "This was the home of Edward Alexander and
Anne Bannister Spencer from 1903 until her death on July 25, 1975. Born on
February 6, 1882, in Henry County, VA. Anne Spencer was to receive national and
international recognition as a poet. Published extensively between 1920 and
1935, she belonged to the Harlem renaissance school of writers." The garden is
wonderfully maintained by Lynchburg resident Thelma Chow. There are a total of
64 photos. |
