RECENTLY AT PENN STATE

 This Fall brought yet another inaugural poet, Richard Blanco, to Penn State for the annual Dickinson reading, sponsored by George and Barbara Kelly and the Department of English. George was on hand for the event, along with his son. Always good to see the Kellys, who have been so generous in their support of literature at Penn State. 

That reading was quickly followed by a fiction reading from Thomas Glave. I spotted Glave early the next morning attending our conference on African American and Caribbean poetry.
