00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.282 align:middle line:90%
Thank you so much.

00:00:01.282 --> 00:00:03.240 align:middle line:84%
Let's give her round of
applause to Sylvia too.

00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:04.032 align:middle line:90%
That was wonderful.

00:00:04.032 --> 00:00:06.584 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:00:06.584 --> 00:00:09.340 align:middle line:90%


00:00:09.340 --> 00:00:12.720 align:middle line:84%
She picked me up from
the airport today too,

00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:14.070 align:middle line:90%
which is very exciting for me.

00:00:14.070 --> 00:00:18.940 align:middle line:84%
It was the very first exciting
maybe seventh hour of my day

00:00:18.940 --> 00:00:22.770 align:middle line:90%
at 9:00 in the morning today.

00:00:22.770 --> 00:00:25.285 align:middle line:84%
As she told me, I got into
her car, and she said--

00:00:25.285 --> 00:00:26.910 align:middle line:84%
I hope I can share
this-- but she said,

00:00:26.910 --> 00:00:28.320 align:middle line:90%
my vision isn't any good.

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.390 align:middle line:84%
I just had surgery
on my hand, and I'm

00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:31.760 align:middle line:90%
driving with the other hand.

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.510 align:middle line:84%
I don't know how to
get to the University.

00:00:33.510 --> 00:00:34.943 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:34.943 --> 00:00:36.360 align:middle line:84%
And this is one
of the first times

00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:37.470 align:middle line:90%
I've ever driven this car.

00:00:37.470 --> 00:00:40.290 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:40.290 --> 00:00:43.580 align:middle line:90%


00:00:43.580 --> 00:00:46.070 align:middle line:90%
I said, here we go.

00:00:46.070 --> 00:00:46.835 align:middle line:90%
She chose scary.

00:00:46.835 --> 00:00:50.760 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:52.010 align:middle line:90%
There are so many of you here.

00:00:52.010 --> 00:00:53.390 align:middle line:84%
In groups, you
look so beautiful.

00:00:53.390 --> 00:00:56.210 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:56.210 --> 00:00:57.770 align:middle line:84%
I mean, individually,
you do too.

00:00:57.770 --> 00:01:00.380 align:middle line:90%
But they're both true, for sure.

00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:03.218 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:03.218 --> 00:01:07.010 align:middle line:90%


00:01:07.010 --> 00:01:11.180 align:middle line:84%
OK, I'm going to read a
few poems from Fjords.

00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:13.200 align:middle line:84%
I'll read a few poems
from a book called Scary,

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:14.330 align:middle line:90%
No Scary too.

00:01:14.330 --> 00:01:17.210 align:middle line:84%
Fjords and many of the
poems I'm going to read

00:01:17.210 --> 00:01:20.120 align:middle line:84%
are available in
this newest book

00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:21.740 align:middle line:90%
that came out from Black Ocean.

00:01:21.740 --> 00:01:26.505 align:middle line:84%
And like Cybele said,
also, Spork Press, which--

00:01:26.505 --> 00:01:28.130 align:middle line:84%
how many of you are
familiar with them?

00:01:28.130 --> 00:01:28.630 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:01:28.630 --> 00:01:32.898 align:middle line:90%
[CROWD CHEERS]

00:01:32.898 --> 00:01:34.690 align:middle line:84%
They had put out a
beautiful chapbook which

00:01:34.690 --> 00:01:36.970 align:middle line:90%
came out before that book too.

00:01:36.970 --> 00:01:39.880 align:middle line:84%
So I'll read from
both of those books

00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:43.140 align:middle line:84%
tonight and be
efficient about it.
