[Kuhl, Nancy]

Ordinary Evening Reading Series Welcomes
Annie Murphy Paul and Carl Zimmer April 5th


New Haven, CT, March 16, 2011 - The Ordinary Evening Reading Series welcomes Spring with a reading by two science writers, Annie Murphy Paul and Carl Zimmer, at 7PM on Tuesday, April 5, in the Anchor Bar's Mermaid Room, 272 College Street in New Haven. This is a rescheduled event after the snowstorms forced us to cancel their reading in January.

This season's lineup offers an eclectic mix of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction read by the authors. For our  April 26th program, we present poets Gail Mazur and Eleanor Lerman. Check our website for author biographies, links to samples of their work, and other information: http://ordinaryevening.blogspot.com/.
