Packed into the annex of the Music Building yesterday afternoon, dozens of students and faculty members eagerly waited for over an hour to hear Dahlia Ravikovitch, one of Israel’s premier poets. Scheduled to appear at 5 p.m., Ravikovitch did not arrive at Penn until 6:30 p.m., after missing her first train and getting off her second train in Trenton, N.J. As the audience waited, various students and professors started the show without her — reading her poetry in both English and Hebrew, while Penn junior Jesse Rubenfeld performed several of her poems on the piano.
