[Yale-readings] Reading Update: Heyen at Beinecke

[Nancy Kuhl]

As a result of a technical glitch, today's Yale Daily News ran an ad for an 
event that took place on October 21st, 2003 (a reading by Jorie Graham) in 
the place of an ad for today's reading at the Beinecke Library by poet 
William Heyen (see details below). Please spread the word that this ad was 
mistakenly printed and there are no plans for Jorie Graham to read at the 
library this semester.
