This speaker's board is sponsoring reading next Monday
night by Nikki Giovanni.
I'm sorry I do not have the details.
I believe the reading will be in the main auditorium,
but I was not able to contact the students to get
the accurate information.
Our next reading will be March 12th in this auditorium,
and it will be memorial for Pablo Neruda in Spanish
and English.
And at the end of March, March 27th,
Peter Wild will be reading at Pima College.
I hope you can join us at the Student Union following
tonight's reading for a reception for Mr.
Transtromer in the terrace lounge for the usual punch
and cookies.
Window Rock, the new literary magazine,
is still accepting submissions and will be until March 10th.
They have a box at the Poetry Center
or at the English Department.
And they are accepting photographs and graphics,
poetry, and prose.
Tomas Transtromer comes to us from Vasteras, Sweden,
all of which I probably have just mispronounced.
He has published six volumes of verse in Swedish.
There are three volumes in English translations.
Robert Bly has translated two volumes, Night Visions and 20
Poems, and May Swenson has published a translation Windows
and Stones.
As well as being a poet, Mr. Transtromer
is a psychologist and a fine pianist.
I'm very happy to introduce you to him tonight.
