    Please join the Massachusetts Chapter of the Fulbright Association and the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center for a reading and Q&A session with internationally acclaimed poet and playwright Afaa Michael Weaver, with a reception following the talk. The Massachusetts Chapter of the Association represents the largest concentration of Fulbright Scholars in the world and provides cultural, social and educational opportunities for Fulbright alumni, students, scholars, teachers and others who wish to further peace through understanding.



    Author of 11 books of poetry, Afaa Michael Weaver has been a Pew fellow in poetry and taught at National Taiwan University and Taipei National University of the Arts in Taiwan as a Fulbright Scholar. At Simmons College in Boston, Massachusetts, he is the Alumnae Professor of English and director of the Zora Neale Hurston Literary Center, as well as the Chairman of the Simmons International Chinese Poetry Conference. His twelfth collection of poetry, The Government of Nature, will be published early in 2013 by the University of Pittsburgh Press. Professor Weaver's papers are held by the Gotlieb Center, and a selection of his collection is currently on display.
