[Cwgrad-announcements] FW: Malaysian poet on Monday the 16th

[Gabriela Jauregui]

Ok... this sounds pretty darn amazing... but so does our colloquium...
so if you can split your bodies in half, go to both!
sadly, they're scheduled pretty much at the same time...  Or maybe we
can be done with colloquium early and go to the second half of the
Pantoun presentation and reading...yes?
