Professor Bowen read for

that gave us an opportunity
to meet a lot of new writers

00:02:10.380 --> 00:02:12.340 align:middle line:90%
that we weren't familiar with.

00:02:12.340 --> 00:02:16.650 align:middle line:84%

"Reading a poem
by Robert Haas is

00:02:55.200 --> 00:02:57.000 align:middle line:84%
like stepping into
the ocean when

00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.520 align:middle line:84%
the temperature of
the water is not much

00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.640 align:middle line:90%
different from that of the air.

00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:06.570 align:middle line:84%

feel the undertow tug at you

00:03:06.570 --> 00:03:10.410 align:middle line:84%
that you have entered
into another element.

00:03:10.410 --> 00:03:14.820 align:middle line:84%
Suddenly, the deep is there
with its teeming life."
