Six Nations Reserve writers, Yvonne Beaver and Valerie Martin, and poets, authors and playwrights Drew Hayden Taylor and Daniel David Moses also read to a crowd of students, faculty and many guests from the community.

Poet Joanne Arnott, who also read last night, can be heard again this afternoon at the Bookroom on Wyandotte Street at 5:30.
