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.<br>
<br>
<b>TODAY: A Poetry Reading by William Heyen at the Beinecke Library<br>
<br>
</b>Please join us for a poetry reading by William Heyen today,
Wednesday, October 13, 4 pm, at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript

of American Literature Reading Series please contact Nancy Kuhl at
