And I hope you have enjoyed the readings as much as I have.
I hope you can come to the Terrace lounge
at the Student Union following the reading to meet Mrs. Kumin,
I have some punch and cookies.
Our first reading for the Spring Semester

I'm glad to announce that Window Rock and Literary Magazine has
received funding for an April issue,
and they will be taking submissions
to the middle of February, we have
a box at the Poetry Center, and there is a box
in the English Department.
They're taking poetry, short fiction, and all graphics
and photographs.

I'm very happy to introduce Maxine Kumin to you tonight,
