[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Our next reading will be two weeks from tonight, November 6.
And three graduate students will read, Mark Porter,
Chris Kennedy, and Boyer Rickel.
And that's the sixth in the terrace lounge.
A week from tomorrow on Halloween
night, October 31, N Scott Momaday,
the very famous American Indian author of "House Made of Dawn,"
which was Pulitzer Prize winner, will
be reading in this auditorium sponsored
by the Amarin club and the Indian Studies Department.
And that reading is open to the public without charge.
I hope you can come to that.
Edward Field comes to us from New York City.
His work has been widely anthologized, appears
in many little poetry magazines.
His most recent book is a collection of Eskimo songs
and stories in translation.
He has two volumes of poetry.
"Stand Up Friend With Me," which was the 1962 Lamont Poetry
award winner, and "Variety Photo Plays."
It's very painful for me to announce
that some person ripped off a "Variety Photo
Plays" from the Poetry Center.
Mr. Field was kind enough to loan us his last copy.
So if you were the person who borrowed the book,
or, if you know who borrowed the book,
would you please try and get it back to us
so that we can give it to Mr. Field in the morning.
We've got a big mailbox right beside the steps,
and we very much would appreciate
having the book back.
It was taken so that students who were interested
did not have an opportunity to read the work,
and we are very embarrassed about it.
In addition to his poetry, Edward Field
has written an award-winning documentary film to be alive,
his honors include Guggenheim Fellowship.
He's taught at such schools at Sarah Lawrence College.
I've had the pleasure of listening to him speak and read
in classes for the last two days.
And I'm very happy to introduce him to you this evening,
Edward Field.
