When did Grand Rapids become the poetry mecca of Michigan? Well, at least this October. Grand Valley State University will be bring Sharon Olds and Sonia Sanchez and I just found out that The Grand Rapids Community College will be bringing Sherman Alexie for a lecture (October 18)!! Their "Diversity Lecture Series XII" will feature Alexie this October and Nikki Giovanni on February 7, 2007!
