October the 14th, 1970, Poetry Reading Center.
This is being recorded in Terrace Room, the Student
Union.
--welcome you to this first reading on behalf of the Ruth
Stephan Poetry Center, and announce the second reading
will be by Galway Kinnell on Tuesday, October 20th,
in the Modern Languages auditorium at 8:30.
Next Tuesday.
We have three readers this evening, all of whom
are very talented people.
They have in common the fact that they live in Arizona,
they're all poets, none of them are affiliated
with the University of Arizona.
Beyond that, they don't have too much in common.
First is Michael Cuddihy.
Michael was born in New York City, educated
at the University of Notre Dame, Columbia University,
and University of Arizona.
He has been an Arizona resident since 1956.
His poetry has appeared in Kayak, Cloud Marauder,
The Tongue, Commonweal, and others.
His work will be appearing soon in Sumac, Shenandoah Quarterly,
and the Chicago Tribune Magazine.
In the spring of 1968, Mr. Cuddihy
published a translation of Jacques Maritain's
The Peasant of the Garonne, a book of philosophy
and theology.
He has also published several reviews
of works dealing with European history in thought
and in America.
Gives me a great deal of pleasure
to introduce a very dear friend, a very fine poet, Michael
Cuddihy.

A little closer, OK.
