[Yale-readings] A TRIBUTE TO ROBERT PENN WARREN

[Nancy Kuhl]

>A TRIBUTE TO ROBERT PENN WARREN
>
>This year marks the centenary of America’s most distinguished man of 
>letters. Three times awarded the Pulitzer Prize and named the nation’s 
>first poet laureate, Robert Penn Warren was also for many years an 
>influential and beloved member of the Yale faculty. As novelist, poet, 
>critic, and teacher, his work inspired our community and is a permanent 
>part of this country’s cultural heritage. Several of his colleagues and 
>friends are joining to honor Warren’s memory on Tuesday, November 1st, at 
>5pm, in Room 101 of Linsly-Chittenden Hall (63 High Street). The event is 
>free and open to the public; a reception follows. Participating in this 
>remarkable event are Yale professors Harold Bloom and John Hollander, 
>along with John Burt (Warren’s literary executor), David Milch (Hollywood 
>writer and Warren protégé), Nancy Lewis (whose husband, Prof. R. W. B. 
>Lewis was Warren’s frequent collaborator), David Rosen (a close family 
>friend), and Rosanna Warren (distinguished poet and Warren’s daughter). 
>Please join us for this unique tribute to one of our great writers, whose 
>restless inquiry into the nature of the human heart resulted in such 
>novels as All The King’s Men and poems of enduring beauty. The event is 
>sponsored by the Department of English and the Beinecke Library.
