Re: The Beauty of Poetry

Michael Sevi ’02 send in an update on Tom Paulin’s Harvard appearance:

Announcement: By mutual consent of the poet and the English Department, the Morris Gray poetry reading by Tom Paulin, originally scheduled for Thursday, November 14th, will not take place. The English Department sincerely regret the widespread consternation that has arisen as a result of this invitation, which had been originally decided on last winter solely on the basis of Mr. Paulin’s lifetime accomplishments as a poet.

– Lawrence Buell, Chair

I wonder if Lawrence Summers had anything to do with this, given his speech earlier this year on intellectual leftist anti-Zionism too-often being a front for anti-Semitism.
