A Gainesville, Fla., writer whose four books of poems have received widespread attention will read at Mississippi State Oct. 30.
Sidney Wade, an English faculty member at the University of Florida, will be featured in a free 8 p.m. program in the Colvard Union small auditorium. Her visit is sponsored by the English Department's Visiting Writers Series.

In addition to a Fulbright, she has held a fellowship at the prestigious Breadloaf Writers' Conference in Middlebury, Vt.
