I have a few thousand
announcements.

00:00:04.890 --> 00:00:09.270 align:middle line:84%
If you did not receive a copy
of the bookmark announcing

00:00:09.270 --> 00:00:11.670 align:middle line:84%
the readings for
January, February, I'll

00:00:11.670 --> 00:00:15.000 align:middle line:84%
have a stack with me and I'll
have them in the reception.

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.530 align:middle line:84%
If you did receive
a copy it's wrong.

00:00:19.530 --> 00:00:21.690 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:21.690 --> 00:00:26.250 align:middle line:84%
Mr. Brodsky has changed
his date from February 18

00:00:26.250 --> 00:00:29.430 align:middle line:84%
to February 20, which
is a Friday night.

00:00:29.430 --> 00:00:32.780 align:middle line:90%


00:00:32.780 --> 00:00:35.120 align:middle line:84%
And the international art
society thinks that they have

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:36.920 align:middle line:84%
a movie in here that
night, but they don't.

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.830 align:middle line:90%


00:00:39.830 --> 00:00:42.410 align:middle line:84%
Our next reader is
one week from tonight.

00:00:42.410 --> 00:00:46.040 align:middle line:84%
He's a novelist, and critic,
and essayist, William Gass.

00:00:46.040 --> 00:00:49.865 align:middle line:84%
And he will be reading in this
auditorium at 8:30 on the 4th.

00:00:49.865 --> 00:00:52.940 align:middle line:90%

I hope that you will
be interested in seeing

00:01:07.850 --> 00:01:10.880 align:middle line:90%
it, reading, it and buying it.

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:13.790 align:middle line:84%
The young people who put
it out have put a lot

00:01:13.790 --> 00:01:15.500 align:middle line:90%
of money and love into it.

00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:18.320 align:middle line:90%


00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:21.860 align:middle line:84%
I'm very happy to introduce
Peter Wild to you tonight.

00:01:21.860 --> 00:01:24.260 align:middle line:90%
He's one of my favorite people.

00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:26.630 align:middle line:84%
Has been for more years than
he might care to remember.

00:01:26.630 --> 00:01:29.840 align:middle line:90%


00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.080 align:middle line:84%
I would like to read you a
list of his publications,

00:01:33.080 --> 00:01:37.580 align:middle line:84%
but it's too long, so I will
mention only that his most

00:01:37.580 --> 00:01:43.640 align:middle line:84%
recent book was The Cloning,
published in 1974 by Doubleday.

00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:48.050 align:middle line:84%
And he has another book coming
out from Doubleday next month

00:01:48.050 --> 00:01:50.810 align:middle line:90%
called Chihuahua.

00:01:50.810 --> 00:01:57.260 align:middle line:84%
His work appears regularly
in many little magazines.

00:01:57.260 --> 00:02:02.720 align:middle line:84%
In addition to his poetry, he's
very active in the Sierra Club,

00:02:02.720 --> 00:02:05.930 align:middle line:90%
and other environmental groups.

00:02:05.930 --> 00:02:10.689 align:middle line:84%
And I'm very happy to turn
the podium over to Peter Wild.

00:02:10.689 --> 00:02:20.000 align:middle line:90%
