Poetry: Ellipses Slam Team presents ‘New S#!t Arch Slam’
“There’s no shit like new shit,” someone wise once wrote on the Facebook description of Ellipses Slam Team’s poetry arch slam, and we couldn’t agree more. Join Ellipses this Thursday at Blair Arch as they celebrate their eight new members with some beautiful words to wrap up your week. Get your fingers ready for snapping and your throats ready to hum lots of “Mmm,” because the poetry will be good — and, let’s face it, it’s fun to make noises when the acoustics are that good.
Thursday, 10 p.m.

Event: Princeton Student Events Committee presents Fall Fest
What says “fall” better than a violent rainstorm and a 20-degree dip in temperature? New Jersey doesn’t know, but Princeton Student Events Committee certainly does. Head to the Frist South Lawn after class this Friday for some pumpkin-carving, apple cider-drinking, fall themed tote bag-decorating and leaf-viewing. Hopefully, the squirrels will be too busy collecting nuts to disturb the Qdoba nacho bar and Terhune Orchards donuts. Bring your friends and enjoy the prettiest season at Princeton before the leaves bid farewell!
Friday, 4 p.m.

Reading: Jhumpa Lahiri and Mary Szybist
You have seen their names on your course syllabi, in The New Yorker and on Amazon’s “best books” lists, and now you can see them in real life.
