Poetry at Beinecke Library

The Archibald MacLeish Collection (MSS YCAL 38) and the Archibald MacLeish Collection Addition (YCAL MSS 269) consist of material -- correspondence, writings, personal papers, and sound recordings -- documenting the personal life, family history, and careers of Archibald and Ada MacLeish. 

Please join us for a poetry reading by poet Joy Harjo on Wednesday, April 9th, at  4 pm, at the Yale Center for British Art, 1080 Chapel Street (please note venue change).
