"Poet Laureate to read at Oakland"

Abstract

"America's Poet Laureate Billy Collins, who movingly recalled the victims of 9-11 by reading a poem before a joint session of Congress Sept. 6, will share his work with Oakland University during a public reading Friday, Sept. 13. He arrives at Oakland just two days after the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, an event that sent people searching for ways to convey their grief."
