[Fraser Easton]

Dear Colleagues--

I am writing to invite you to a free poetry reading by UW English  
alumnus George Elliott Clarke (BA 1984), renowned poet, 2002 Governor  
General’s Award-winner (for Execution Poems), and author of numerous  
plays, poetry collections, scholarly texts, and a novel, George and  
Rue (2005).

In addition to being a poet, playwright and literary critic Clarke is  
the E.J. Pratt Professor of Canadian Literature at the University of  
Toronto. He taught English and Canadian Studies at Duke University  
(1994-1999). During 1998-99 he was appointed the Visiting Seagrams  
Chair in Canadian Studies at McGill University, then became professor  
of English at the U. of T. in 1999, before being appointed E.J. Pratt  
Professor in 2003.

The reading will begin at 7:00 pm in the Hagey Hall Theatre of the  
Humanities on Friday, September 17th, and there will be a book  
signing afterwards.  Please come and join us in celebration of 50  
years of English at the University of Waterloo.

Sincerely,
