According to the schedule we published
at the beginning of the semester,
the last reading for the year will be a week from tomorrow.
That's the Contest Awards Reading in the Terrace Lounge.
And since then, we have added two more
readings, all both on the same day, in the afternoon.
Brenda Hillman will read from her poetry
and Leonard Michaels will read from his short fiction.
That's Monday afternoon the 23rd,
Miss Hillman will read at 2 o'clock, Mr. Michaels at 3:30
in the Terrace Lounge.
And we'll be in the Terrace Lounge tonight
for the reception for Mr. Ignatow.
It's getting a little harder to find the Terrace Lounge
if you haven't been over there lately.
They keep adding onto that terrace
and you have to fight your way through the construction
to get through it, but please come over and have a brownie.

One more reading has been scheduled
for Pima College, a week from Thursday the 19th,
and the reader is Jefferson Carter.
Now that will be in the Downtown campus, which
is Stone and Speedway--
just west of Stone and Speedway.
And I'm not sure what the building is,
but it will be at 8:30 and we have some posters that
give more information on that.
We're very happy to have David Ignatow back with us.
He was here in February of 1971.
We've been anxious for his return ever since.
His honors include: National Institute of Arts and Letters
Award, two Guggenheim Fellowships, Shelley Memorial
Award, Rockefeller Fellowship, National Endowment for the Arts
Grant, and most recently in 1976,
the Bollingen Prize for Poetry.
List of his books is so long, I'm only
going to read the most recent.
The Selected Poems appeared in 1975,
The Animal In The Bush, Poems On Poetry in 1977,
and most recent collection Tread the Dark.
We're very happy to introduce to you David Ignatow.
