00:00:04.350 --> 00:00:07.080 align:middle line:84%
Hello, everybody, and welcome
back to the Poetry Center

00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:07.620 align:middle line:90%
this fall.

00:00:07.620 --> 00:00:12.260 align:middle line:90%


00:00:12.260 --> 00:00:15.170 align:middle line:84%
"We are built for
these distances.

00:00:15.170 --> 00:00:19.010 align:middle line:84%
I am wearing a regardless gown
even though I've regardless

00:00:19.010 --> 00:00:21.330 align:middle line:90%
grown in this evening.

00:00:21.330 --> 00:00:26.330 align:middle line:84%
Here we collected to hear
writer, mentor, friend,

00:00:26.330 --> 00:00:29.960 align:middle line:84%
prized human in
my paused opinion.

00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:34.670 align:middle line:84%
In this we crowd and fire into
one another and set alight.

00:00:34.670 --> 00:00:37.100 align:middle line:84%
There is distance
but not stilled

00:00:37.100 --> 00:00:42.410 align:middle line:84%
or stirred, not divided,
no interior region.

00:00:42.410 --> 00:00:45.500 align:middle line:84%
I read Barbara's poems
because wild discord drums

00:00:45.500 --> 00:00:48.500 align:middle line:90%
the heart and drumming tames.

00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:52.730 align:middle line:84%
Yes, I am carrying lines
from her new book, that

00:00:52.730 --> 00:00:55.550 align:middle line:84%
place where I remix
because I admire her

00:00:55.550 --> 00:00:58.130 align:middle line:90%
and because I respect.

00:00:58.130 --> 00:01:02.270 align:middle line:84%
Because I've been taught to
know that tracks furrow away,

00:01:02.270 --> 00:01:07.520 align:middle line:84%
twisted and fed as
her songs softly do.

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:10.730 align:middle line:90%
This is the maze of being skin.

00:01:10.730 --> 00:01:14.120 align:middle line:84%
Pay attention to
peace in this reading.

00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.660 align:middle line:84%
My broth [? her, as ?]
rich and wise.

00:01:17.660 --> 00:01:21.080 align:middle line:84%
Pay attention to the
ways in which you react.

00:01:21.080 --> 00:01:23.570 align:middle line:90%
Pay attention to the wise.

00:01:23.570 --> 00:01:27.500 align:middle line:84%
BC is why I've done
some good work.

00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:29.930 align:middle line:90%
Oh to owe not anyone.

00:01:29.930 --> 00:01:33.290 align:middle line:84%
Not anyone, except
those of a gentle swing

00:01:33.290 --> 00:01:36.710 align:middle line:84%
or of a dangerous
accelerant or trance.

00:01:36.710 --> 00:01:41.360 align:middle line:84%
Pay attention to
gratitude, timed grace.

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:42.680 align:middle line:90%
Come now.

00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.590 align:middle line:84%
Come now to the
minutes we're in.

00:01:45.590 --> 00:01:50.750 align:middle line:84%
From here tuneful clipped,
that voice as pack of.

00:01:50.750 --> 00:01:54.050 align:middle line:84%
We should be humble
and think in the round.

00:01:54.050 --> 00:01:56.360 align:middle line:90%
We assemble here.

00:01:56.360 --> 00:01:58.850 align:middle line:84%
And if we are in
any way expired,

00:01:58.850 --> 00:02:05.260 align:middle line:84%
we will revive in time 1,000
fold with this reading."

00:02:05.260 --> 00:02:08.680 align:middle line:84%
I am honored to introduce my
friend, Barbara Cully, tonight.

00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.630 align:middle line:84%
She has been a long and
faithful teacher and comrade.

00:02:13.630 --> 00:02:15.310 align:middle line:84%
She has two new
poetry collections.

00:02:15.310 --> 00:02:17.260 align:middle line:84%

00:02:17.260 --> 00:02:20.200 align:middle line:84%
