Vincent had a complex childhood in Camden—full of love and beauty, but also full of poverty and conflict. Come learn about her journey from the young girl who dreamt of fairies and dancing raindrops to the young woman who stepped on the train heading to New York City and a life her younger self could never have imagined. Through an examination of her poetry, essays, and journals, we will go back in time and spend an evening with young Vincent.
