On August 29, the Academy of American Poets posted an archived photo of Rita Dove on their Facebook page. The photo was not taken in 1994 as the caption says, but on December 2, 1993 at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, on the occasion of Rita Dove introducing and joining in a poetry reading by Nobel laureates Czeslaw Milosz, Joseph Brodsky, Derek Walcott and Octavio Paz.
