You can all stay after the reading
tonight and have some refreshments
and meet Dr. Holub.
Our next reading will be in this auditorium on Sunday afternoon,
April 10, at 3 o'clock.
And that will be the visiting poet
from Sweden, Tomas Transtromer.
He's read for us before.
He's a great treat.
I goofed on the scheduling of the next student reading
and accidentally scheduled it on the night of a Writers
at Work reading.
The Writers at Work reading will be two weeks
from tonight, April 13.
Their visitor is the writer, Tim O'Brien,
and their student reader is Heather Aaronson.
So we have moved our reading to Thursday Night, April 14.
And we just sent out 2000 of these that say the 13th.
So would you help spread the word for us
that it will be the 14th?
And we'll send out another 2000 to correct ourselves.
And that will be in the University Art Museum.
The English department is scheduling--
or sponsoring a series of lectures.
They're opening lectures tonight.
I'm sorry to say and that you couldn't be in both places.
But tomorrow night, Dr. Gerald McNiece
will be lecturing at 7:30 in the junior ballroom on Coleridge
and The twilight Realms of Consciousness.
And the third of those lectures will
be April 6 also at 7:30 in the junior ballroom.
Dr. Gerald Vogel, Wordsworth to Keats and Shelley influence
and revision.
Miroslav Holub comes to us from Prague, Czechoslovakia.
But he's no stranger to the United States,
lived here for two years in the 60s
and was a Fulbright guest at Oberlin College
on two different occasions.
He is not only Czechoslovakia's most important poet.
He also is one of the leading scientists in his country.
He's the chief research immunologist
at the Institute for Clinical and experimental medicine
in Prague.
He's published 13 books of poetry
and four books of prose and essays in Czechoslovakia.
And in the United States, the prestigious Field Translation
Series has published two of his books.
This one is Interferon or On Theater.
And we still have a few copies of this book for sale tonight.
When I last looked we had only one copy left of his other book
from Field called Sagittal Section.
If you want a book and are not able to get one tonight.
I can give you some order information
from the Field series.
He also has two books that have been
published in English translations in England.
It is a great pleasure to introduce
to you Dr. Miroslav Holub.
