So on to tonight.
We are so very pleased to share Ilya Kaminsky with you.
He will read for about 40 minutes,
and then we'll have a short Q and A session, and then
the book signing.
He'll be signing books right here.
Ilya will be introduced by Hannah Ensor,
a poetry MFA student here at the U of A.
She has poems published in Bat City Review, Cut Bank
and Dislocate, as well as online at Evening Will Come, Sport
Press and Network Awesome.
Some days she plays music with John Melillo
as Algae and Tentacles, and also serves on
the board of directors of Casa Libre en la Solana
on the advisory board for the Poetry Center,
and is a poetry editor for the Sonora Review.
Hannah is clearly amazing person.
Really looking forward to reading her first book sooner
rather than later.
Please help me welcome Hannah.
