"I have good news and bad news… Unfortunately poet Lucille Clifton has cancelled her visit scheduled for February 22nd due to illness. She anticipates a full recovery but it will take time.
In her place, we have rescheduled Edwidge Danticat! Thus, Danticat will offer a reading and book signing on Monday, February 22, 2010 at 7:30 pm in the Reilly Room. Between now and then she will be visiting Haiti.
Please join us later this week when Pulitzer Prize-winner, Junot Diaz, addresses us on Thursday night at 7:30 pm in the Reilly Room."
The Lit Events Calendar has been adjusted accordingly.
And if you're looking for a little pre-reading taste of Diaz, here's an interview he did with Bookslut. Man, this reading is going to be fun.

ah. wait. so the reading with Diaz is thursday evening--just the q&a with him is friday morning. i might actually be able to make that!
Yes, and I get to eat dinner with him!
And most importantly, by reading the interview we know what NOT to ever ask him. Bet you $10 someone will though.
