News at Eleven: A federal judge has refused to dismiss

a lawsuit accusing a poet of stealing a master's degree program and its faculty from New England College and recreating it at a rival school in New Jersey.

The case is a dispute "over poetry in motion," U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Laplante wrote Friday in denying Drew University's request to either dismiss the lawsuit or move it to a New Jersey court.

New England College, a small liberal arts school in Henniker, N.H., is suing Anne Marie Macari , the former director of its low-residency Master's of Fine Arts in Poetry program , and the New Jersey school where Macari now directs a similar program.
