I have so many announcements that I'm
very sorry that I didn't just print something up to pass out.
Tomorrow night at Pima College, David Wojahn will be reading.
And that's at the Downtown campus.
I'm sorry I can't give you the room number.
It's 209.
209.
Thank you, Jim.
Room 209, the Downtown campus, that's just
West of Speedway and Stone.
And on Monday night, Jim Hagan will
be reading at Pima College.
Is that Downtown too?
I have no idea.
OK.
If you want to call us, we'll have the information
at the Poetry Center.
Our next reading is a week from tonight in the terrace
lounge of the Student Union and the readers
will be four MFA candidates, Gary Eddie, Judy Clarke,
Joe Powell, and Ron Stoudamire.
That's at 8:30 in the terrace lounge.
The Drama department in cooperation
with this English department, and of course,
the Poetry Center is presenting Edward Albee a week
from tomorrow.
That's the 7th of February in the ballroom of the Union.
And that's at 7:30 in the evening.
And so don't come like you do here.
I have quite a few copies of the entry forms
and rules for the contest.
The entries for the contest are due two weeks
from Friday, no later than February 15th.
The judge of the contest this year is Thomas Lux.
The first prize is $100 from the Academy of American Poets.
Did I miss anything?
I hope you can come to the union to meet
Patricia Hampel after the reading at the terrace lounge.
Patricia Hempel comes to us from St. Paul, Minnesota,
from the coal country.
She's published one book of poems
with University of Pittsburgh Press, called "Women
Before an Aquarium."
Her work has appeared in all the usual poetry
magazines in addition to some of the more important ones
like Paris Review and The New Yorker.
She writes short stories, memoirs,
essays, non-fiction articles, as well as poetry.
She's currently the recipient of a Bush Foundation
Grant, which is supporting her as a full time writer
this year.
We're very happy to introduce Patricia Hampel.
