More PSAs

First, for those of you interested in the Sappho fragment, I came across this lecture by Dr. Edwin Floyd at the University of Pittsburgh on September 26th. I guess my Sappho poem coverage has been getting around, because I just noticed that he links to the jpg I provided if you click on the details of the presentation. I just found this on the net, so I have no idea if it's open to the public. It is, however, posted online, so I'm guessing that it is until somebody tells me otherwise!

Secondly, I've permission from the author to repost this, which was posted to Latinteach:

Just a note to alert all in the Mid-Adlantic area of the next mouth-watering Dickinson Classics Dept. Workshop:

So yes, lots of fun and exciting things going on here on the east coast. I advertise Classics things as I see them, so don't hesitate to send me an e-mail if you want something pimped.
