Howard Baker Will Deliver Poetry Reading in Widener

Expounding his basic philosophy that nothing is certain in the world except change, Howard Baker, instructor in English and one of our rising poets, will give a reading of his works at 4:30 today in the Widener Poetry Room.

Baker, whose "Ode to the Sea" has been highly acclaimed by Robert Frost and Kenneth B. Murdock '16, Francis Lee Higginson Professor of English Literature, will appear under the auspices of the Morris Gray Poetry Series. Former Morris Gray lecturers have been Archibald MacLeish and Robert Frost.

Baker writes for the Southern Review, has published a novel called "Orange Valley" and is now working on a series of poems dealing with the New Orleans Mardi Gras.
